Hello,

I had purchased a new laptop running Vista Business edition, with Norton
Internet Security. There are 1 desktop & 1 laptop running XP Home on the
network.

I had installed the LLTD Responder into my XP Desktop and laptop already.
The XP Destop & laptop can see my Vista laptop in the network.

In the Vista laptop, both XP Desktop and laptop can be shown on the network
mapping, but cannot access. I use the mouse pointer to click both XP Desktop
and laptop icon, but no response at all. Also, I try to add network printer,
but the Vista laptop cannot detect my shared printer, which is connected to
my XP Destop.

I checked the exclusive list of the firewall already. "File and Printer
Sharing" is excluded. The workgroup name is all identical for these 3
machine. I tried many times but still cannot fix this problem, which make
me extremely frustrated.

Anyone can give me some advise?

Thanks and regards,
Zeeman
