If you cannot ping the Vista laptop, you probably have a personal firewall problem. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ther-help.html Though there are a few other issues unique to Windows Vista, that could be relevant. 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.
