If you enable sharing you should be able to ping each by IP. If not, I would
double check the zone alarm and other security software.

I have the same problem, internet great, local net, no. I disabled all
security programs, no luck getting out on to the local net. For that matter I can't even see my other computers. On my other comp's I can see this one, but can't get in. My laptop has Vista Home Pre and I have no problems accessing the third one with XP or my net drive. I am just about to give up and go back to XP. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing. 1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is the SAME. In Vista Network and Sharing: Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers) Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc) File Sharing: ON Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared Docs) Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer from an XP computer. Also, run the XP’s Home Network File and Printer sharing Wizard Steve, what I have above worked for me between XP Pro And vista Home Premium ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ The only diff I have is I don't have Printer Sharing turned ON, as that is only for the one computer with more then 1 user account ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "steveread" wrote: I disabled zone alarm for a test and that didn't work.

There is a "trusted sites" setting in Norton Internet Security (I hadn't used
it before). Adding my computers there fixed it. The default is to reject everyone. It seems to me that a better default would be to reject everyone except 192.168.n.n, but what do I know; I'm just a user. Details he http://tinyurl.com/38kqhb Thanks to everyone who gave me help.
