Hi all, I was experiencing a problem I have seen people report a lot, and that is that computer browsing (for example when you click on the Network icon) in a Vista-XP network does not show the XP computers. This is NOT to be confused with the Network mapping interface that came with Vista, just the good old fashioned computer browse that traditionally is supported via the Computer Browser...

I'm having trouble connecting to Windows Server 2008 x64 machines. My machine is Vista Business SP1, 32 bit. I'm not positive if the problem is caused by the fact that I installed IE8 but I've been having problems since upgrading. I just can't say for sure that IE8 caused it because I didn't test connectivity right after installing it. Anyway, I can RDP to 32 bit servers fine...even if...

What can I do.. or what do I need to do? I can see the network icon of the computer I want to connect to but when I click on it. It says \\Q9203045 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permission. Strangely I can browse the drive from any Vista computer to this laptop Drive ......

Do you know if Vista still has a 'browser' to see which computer on the netwrok is the master? When I open the Network icon on the desktop, it shows me there are three computers powered on, and it finds them thru my ethernet LAN.

Have two computer. One is Vista premium (32-bit) and the other Win XP Media. The XP can see the shared C: drive on the Vista. However, Vista can't see the shared C: drive on XP. Yet, Vista can map a drive letter using \\station1\c format. (station1 is XP). So if I can map a drive letter, why can't Vista see the XP drive in the Network icon? All it sees is itself (station2).

I'm running into a problem where under certain types of heavy load, my NIC will stop responding. After a few seconds Windows assigns a 169.254 class IP and I get an eventlog report of "Driver status 1" from the NIC's drivers. Nothing short of a reboot gets me connected again, I've tried an ipconfig /release and /renew cycle, disconnecting and reconnecting the ethernet cable, having Vista...

(cross-post added to Vista Networking) "JamesJ" wrote in message ... Vista. Doesn't happen much. Happens a few times with 100 pages. Yeah it would be a bit difficult to troubleshoot happening so few times. Just thought, maybe it was a sign of some larger issue. Could be a symptom of an MTU issue but I thought that...

This also happens even if the power goes off and the router...
