Network wireless Vista and wired XP
I have tried everything I have seen and can not get my Vista Laptop or my XP
Desktop to share with each other. I can see my XP Desktop in Vistas Network and Sharing "show all"map..but can't get in to access my shared files. I have downloaded the LinkLayer Topology thing it says XP has to have..I can see XP on Vista but can't access..I can't even see Vista on the XP. I hate Vista !! XP is so easy..Vista is just crap..any help would be apprieciated...

The "problem" that you've been having is actually a symptom. There are several problems that can cause the same symptom (inability to "see" other computers). These problems have always existed; with Vista and its redesigned features, they simply became more obvious. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
