Ever since getting my Windows Vista Home Premium notebook in June, I have
always had this problem:

In the Network window, I can see both my Notebook and my home PC which runs
Windows XP Home. When I double-click on the XP Computer, after attempting to
connect, I get a 'Network Error':

Windows cannot access \\computer name

In the 'Details' section I get:

Error code: 0x80070035
The network path was not found.

In my Network and Sharing Center, I have enabled:
Network discovery, File sharing, Public folder sharing, Printer sharing,
Password proteted sharing, and Media sharing.

On my XP computer, I have run the 'Set up a home network' wizard, enabling
File and Printer sharing, and made sure that the workgroup was set to MSHOME
on both computers.

For the most part I cannot access any XP computers through Vista.

And also I have the LLTD responder installed on my XP machine.

I have ran BROWSTAT on both computers, and this is it's output:

My Vista laptop "KOTOKO":

Why is networking so bloody hard in Vista? I have two desktops running XP
Home and 2 laptops running Vista Home, all connected through a wireless
router. The desktops will talk to each other, no problem. Both laptops see
one XP machine but not the other, and can only see into folders that have
individually been set to share. Both XP's see both laptops, but can't access
any files even if the individual folders are set to share. The laptops see
each other but can't access each other's files. I've checked every setting,
run every wizard, done every silly thing suggested and I can't make this
network work. I may just downgrade these Vista machines, since I don't see
any benefit to a operating system that makes it this hard to set up a simple
network.

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.
How to give Permissions are there, too.
If you are running Norton, etc’s Firewall, check its settings.

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.

Also, run the XP’s Home Network File and Printer sharing Wizard.

Already did that many many times, and nothing. There MUST be something that
I'm doing incorrectly with it.

Well, come to think about it, might not be XP... In the first post I have my
BROWSTAT information for both computers listed.

Ihad a working home network with three xp machines, two wir3ed and one
wirless. The XP machines and printers still work. The Vista machine I added
in has the same workgorup and at times sees the other wired machine, but
Vista machine and printer are not accessible with anything I try?

Many vista users have same problem but microsoft don"t do nothing fix this
issue, or maybe they want all windows user replace they xp windows to vista
windows. Vista look nice but inside too many problems. I know one company
where go back to windows xp because they have too many problems whit vista.
