Oh Vista gurus,
I still can’t see the other computers from the vista computer’s (Dell Inspiron
1521, AMD Turion 64, Vista Home Basic) Network window. This is a peer-to-peer
network using a D-Link DI-624. The results of things I have tried at the behest
of MVPs on this discussion group, as well as other sources of advice, are as
follows:
--I can ping all other computers.
--I used the net view\\ipaddress command in the cmd and received no errors. It
successfully reported the computer description (from My ComputerSystem
PropertiesComputer NameComputer description) and a list of the shared folders
that exist thereon. This is true of all computers on the network, both XP and
Win98.
--I ran the Internet connectivity Evaluation Tool found on
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/usi...d/default.mspx and it
reports to me "Congratulations! Your router supports new advanced..." etc.
--I have carefully followed all the directions found in in
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/l.../bb727037.aspx including all the
Firewall UDP and TCP port allowances.
------------What else can I try?
Dell tech support suggests that I take down the network entirely and use the
wizard (on an XP machine) to set it back up. Does that sound logical? Would it
be worth it to get a new router while I am at it? If so what should I look for?
Thank You,
plh

If you can net view \\ipaddress, it could be the name resolution issue.
What's the result if you do net view \\remtepcname?

Diagnose the problem, using logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net
config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer. Read this
article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download
browstat!) (note how to use the command window in Vista):

Hello Bob,
If I use the computer name, I get a location not found error. Assuming this
means it's a name resolution issue, how can I address that?

If you can net view ip and net view name receives system 53, that is name
resolution issue. I would check if the NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. Or
this link may help.

It is indeed system error 53. What do you mean by NetBIOS over TCP/IP being
enabled? That NetBios should be disabled if it is enabled? I'll look at that
link also in detail when I get a chance.
Thanx,
