Hi, I have read and re-read the posts about vista-xp networking but somehow the suggestions still don't work. I can access the Vista laptop through the desktop PC XP SP2 which is wired to the router but I can't acces the desktop pc via the laptop which is connected wirelessly, though it shows it in the "Network" window. I get an error that says Windows cannot access (computer name) error...

Hi, I've got a network at home. 3 Computers are on it, including this computer with vista (the others have xp). The problem is, that every 1-2 minutes my internet goes off and on. I have this in games, but also when i browse on internet. I checked that the computer can't turn off the thing, becouse of energy save, and that is off. So it's not that.

I have an windows vista laptop running SP1 on a SBS 2003 server environment. We are using folder redirection for my documents and desktop. I login and the user account creates the folder for the user on the server under the redirection folder. If I unplug the laptop for the network the desktop and my documents in not there. I went to synch center and there is no partnership to the...

I am wondering: When you are subscribed to another online calendar, it gives you options to update every 15 min, 60 min, or every day or every week. I want to know if there is a way to refresh that calendar when I want to. Sometimes the 15 min is not fast enough, as the online calendar has been updated, but I cannot see it for 15 min. Please let me know.

Help, just upgrading to Vista Business from XP pro, and I can't seem to get off line folders working right. Click on a folder to make available offline, and receive errors on every file : "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." any help would be appreciated. Synchronization still works fine on my XP box.

After searching the internet, I was unable to find a solution to the following problem. (Maybe it is my keywords) In our office, we have approximately 16 machines that run Win XP Pro and one machine with Vista Ultimate 32bit. The Vista machine has folders that are shared with "Everyone" granted permission to these folders. After starting up the Vista machine first thing in the morning, the XP...

You might not have permission to use this network resource. .......... The specified network provider name is invalid" This problem just started a few days ago.

Hello, I'm facing a strange issue when using explorer to create a file or a folder on a network share, it takes about 100 secs to complete. Checking on the server itself the file/folder is created instantaneously but the client is waiting, waiting before displaying it. A complete folder structure copy to the same share is working at a decent speed. If I use another "explorer" like...

I live at a university campus and we are seeing a strange problem. If the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service is running on a Vista machine, it causes the machine to send out multiple DNS queries when only one is needed. (Sometimes, as many as 1000 duplicate requests.) Using just nslookup at the command prompt can cause many duplicate requests to be sent. We could just turn off ICS,...

I just bought a new Vista laptop, and would like to connect it to my sort-of-operating XP network. I have named the network correctly, and entered the proper workgroup name, and now when I show the Network, the Vista machine shows itself and the router. The problem is, the router is NOT the Internet gateway; my old XP laptop is, and neither the old laptop nor the desktop which have IP...

Browsing the internet and downloading data - how do I establish as to how much data I have downloaded? Are there any statistical tools that will display this? For instance, I am trying to figure out how much data I download per day for roaming purposes.

I'm running Vista (the full release version from MSDN) and I was hopeful that the wireless networking issues I had had in the Beta versions would be resolved. However that's not the case. I'm attempting to connecting to a WPA-Enterprise network with AES or TKIP using PEAP and MS-CHAP. When I try to connect I get a red X next to the network stating that the settings saved on my computer for...

I had a working VPN connection with Windows Vista, my computer encountered an error and the resolution was to upgrade to Service Pack 1. I did and now my VPN connection does not work. I can bring a laptop home from work (Windows XP) and it will connect. Anyone have any ideas? I have gone into the properties to make sure the settings did not get changed.

I have Vista 32 bit with SP1. All updates through 5-12-08. My wireless networks were working just fine up until Monday the 12th. Then I noticed that the Wireless Network Options was missing under "Network and Sharing Center". The network adaptor is working properly according to Vista but I reloaded the drivers anyway and have a good installation. The computer tells me that there are no...
