Wireless Network between Windows XP & Vista
I have a Windows XP computer with a printer and a wireless router connected
via ethernet. I also have a Vista computer which is connected to the wireless router and can access internet. I am having a hard time trying to share files and printer. Both computers are in the same workgroup and have tried other suggestions but Vista does not show the XP computer or the printer. Any suggestions will be welcome.
