I established a network between a laptop running XP and a new desktop runnng Vista. I had been using the HP printer from a USB connection on the laptop. I installed the HP printer on the new desktop. I can view the printer in sharing mode on the network screen on both computers but cannot print remotely from either computer. How can I solve this problem?

Just trying Vista for the first time with a friends PC (Home Premium). I have a few XPs on a Netgear router and normally use no WEP just authentication via MAC address. I can only get the Vista PC to work with this turned off. I have input the MAC address but it just wont budge. Is it me or is this a Vista feature? Thamks Alan

I do not use a password in Vista, so my PC boots up and the desktop appears without me needing to enter a password - I have it this way for convenience. It is networked within my home via Ethernet cable (ie not wireless) to my girlfriend's PC, but I am not worried about her being able to get on my PC either directly or via the network. One thing that I do wonder about is does not having a...

Hi, I am just setting up VISTA Ultimate. I have the OS and all programme files on drive C:. I have 2 other partitions (D: and I:) on the same physical drive as C: I can share folders on D: and I: with no problem. I cannot share folers on C: (with the exception of PUBLIC). Is this a "Security Feature", or am I missing something simple? Barry

I´m unsing Vista now for 2 months and since then I didn´t had much problems. Now for some unknown reason my internet connection stops working from time to time.

First I thought it was the Router I´m using but as I can ping webserver through the router, use ICQ and as my...

Hi, I just have a question. I have a laptop running Vista and a desktop running XP. The laptop is hooked up to a wireless network with the desktop. I just want to know, is there a way to communicate between the two, but NOT using the Internet, just the wireless network connection? Thanks.

Hello, I am setting up multiple Laptops and have them connected to wireless. The wireless is a 3com system with open access but restricted by MAC Address. All three of the Vista (Business) machines connect to the wireless, pull an IP address, can ping sites in the Internet, but not a single one of them can access or browse web pages. I am stumped on this because if it is the fact that it...

Had a BSOD yesterday and ever since then, Network Discovery won't start. Also, MS SQL won't start & I think these two problems are related. I enabled all services, just to see if something was wrong there but that did not help. I can browse the net, send/receive email and other computers on my network can see this one (running Vista Ultimate). I think I need to re-install part of the...

I've got an Intel SS-4000E Network Storage System that I use to backup a number of my computers. The three machines running XP have no difficulty using the software provided with the NSS.

It can find the share I've set up on the NSS, but when I try to use it to...
