Will xp upgrade to vista fix networking issue?
I have 2 pcs, one running vista the other xp pro. I have been through ALL
the fixes described (it's taken hours) in the newsgroups and this problem persists: the xp machine cannot access the vista machine's files over the network. Vista sees xp just fine. The vista machine shows in "View Workgroup Computers" on the xp machine but trying to access files produces the permissions error. Question: is upgrading the xp machine to vista a guaranteed cure? I'm ready to go there because these computers need to communicate. btw, internet connection sharing is fine. -- ======================= Tom Richards http://webhandprint.com =======================

Without upgrading to Vista XP should be able to share with Vista. Do a
simple test. Assuming you have enabled the sharing on the Vista, can you ping the Vista by IP? -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Tom Richards" wrote in message ...

Here's something to check--literally. Go into the Vista Networking garbage
and find the Network Adapters dialog. Now open the Network adapter dialog for the adapter you're using. Now click Properties, lower left. Be sure File Sharing check box is checked. Let us know.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I went ahead and upgraded to vista and
all is well. I just couldn't take any more troubleshooting. :-) Tom -- ======================= Tom Richards http://webhandprint.com ======================= "John" wrote in message ...
