OneCare 1.5 turned off file sharing, network discovery, public folder sharing, printer sharing, etc. When I use Network and Sharing Center to turn it back on, I get a dialog that says "The specified service does not exist as an installed service". Any thoughts?

I am using RC1 and having trouble with startup. Booting the computer takes more than 10 minutes. Fortunately I am able to crank up Task Manager in that time, where I noticed that the 'server' service is stalling for a long time before it loads. I confirmed this by disabling the service, after which the computer starts up normally. I haven't seen any reports in these newsgroups about this...

I want to share my internet connection using bluetooth as a "null modem", but I can't find how. Bluetooth options have changed after XP SP2 and "direct cable link" is not longer available. Do you have any solution for this?

I use a cable modem to connect to the internet through Comcast. I don't use PPPoe to connect to the internet. There is no username and password to access my connection. I just use "Automatic Configuration - DHCP". Vista doesn't allow me to select this option in order to connect to the net. Is there something I'm doing wrong? jw.

Surely this is possible, but I have not been able to figure it out. I can connect to Media Center from my Xbox360 to my Vista PC no problem. The problem I am having is that I want to be able to access the shared folders (pics & music) without having to go into Media Center on the Xbox 360. I can already do this with WindowsXP, but cannot figure it out on Vista. You may say why do this...

Does anyone know where I can download the latest version of Cisco VPN (4.8.01.0590) ?

taI can't get meeting space to start. I get an error: "Meeting space cannot start because a peer-to-peer services failed". When I trace down the actual service that fails to sart, it's the "peer name resolution protocol service". It refuses to start, and gives the error code 0x80630203. When I trace that error code, I get: "One or more of the dependent services could not initialize. The...

I can confirm that I am having the same issues. I work for the ITI Data Networks group here at Purdue University. We too use 802.1x/RADIUS authentication utilizing PEAP/MSCHAP. I have tried setting up Vista just like I would in XP. Wireless Profile: Connection Connect Automatically when this network is in range (checked) Connect even if the network is not broadcasting...

I got it set up. I went to the Network Connections folder. Then I went to the File menu and chose "New Incoming Connection". If your File menu isn't available, click "Organize - Layout - Menu Bar". -- Randall

I have 3 computers hookup to my network. Two of them have XP and the other Vista RC1. I can see all three computers in the network in each computer. In Vista I can browse the file for each computer. The problem that I have is that in the XP one when I try to browse the document for the Vista one I get the following error: \\Vista RC1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to...

Hi I am able to remotely access my company server through XP's Remote Desktop Connection. I've recent installed Windows Vista RC1, and for some reason RDC doesn't seem to work. When I try to connect, first I get a 'Windows Security' box saying 'Looking for credential tiles...', then another box appears, saying 'Remote Desktop

Hi, Is it easy to setup a network between a computer with Windows Vista and the other computer with Windows XP Professional? Because last time it took me a lot of trouble setting up a network for a computer with Windows XP and the other computer operating with a Windows 98.

In Windows XP, I can right click on My Network Place and there is an option 'Search for computers....'. Where is this feature in Windows Vista? The challenge I have is, I have two routers connected to each other (wireless and non-wireless). In XP, I use this 'search for computers...' feature to find computers under the other routers (they have different 192.168....) ranges. Can someone...

I have an ASUS P5AD2-E Premium Motherboard and in XP I can configure my onboard wireless as an AP by bridging the wireless and 1 of the LAN connections. (by using a GUI utility) but in vista the only thing that I can do is use my wireless as a network adapter. Is there a way to configure this in vista as in XP?

When I run on battery power, the wireless connection is absurdly slow. I'm trying to see if there's a setting I am missing, but I'm not sure what would cause this - no power save modes are indicated, and I think that's a rather bizarre result. The card is a broadcom card in a new Dell D620 - so I think it's Dell's 1490 card as well. Does anyone know if Vista "throttles" wireless to save...

Ok, I give... this is probably one of the most ubiquitous NIC cards out there... *No* driver support? c'mon what gives? Anybody have a hack or will the XP drivers work? Please... this isn't funny anymore... #%(#$ drivers are killing us!

I have Vista Beta 2 upgraded to RC1 and my HD C is defined a fully shared for updating. My production machine is XP upgraded to the very latest. I can see the vista machine and its resources BUT cannot access them. From the Vista machine, I can access the shared resources on my XP machines. Wot du I have to du to make the hard disk on the Vista machine completely accessable to the XP...

I am having a lot of trouble sending email (Vista Mail) through an SMTP server - I continue to get an 0x800CCC OE error. It uses port 25 and I can't telnet to this server - I get a "connect failed" error. Am running Vista barebones, only the operating system is in the start-up list. Have tuned MTU to a point where packets don't fragment. Presumably port 25 is being blocked, but how do I...

is there any way to hide the network icon in the system tray?
