When I try to connect to my home wireless network I get the message that connection failed for an uknown reason.

Hello all, Anyone know how to duplicate the "Remote Desktops" functionality (from Windows Server 2003) in Windows Vista? Thanks, - karim

Hi, all I notice that the Home editions of Vista do not have 'business networking'. My only complaint about XP Home is that I cannot connect to my XP Home PC from my XP Pro PC as an administrator; XP Home always authenticates remote users as guest, so even though my ID on the XP Home PC is an administrator, I can't get full read/write access to the C$ share on the XP Home PC. Does anyone...

Where can I set or change the binding order for computers that have multiplle NICS?

I have recently put on Vista RC1, and it is working dandily; the hardware support is better than XP was on my (not-so-new) machine. I do have one question; although I have an FTP application that works perfectly happily, I did use the Web Publishing Wizard in XP for just one site for which it was much easier. Is the WPW not a part of Vista?

That's great for synchronizing stuff our kids might use--pictures and movies--but how about the applications your real purchasers really need in order to make the money to buy your software, i.e., our outlook calendars, contacts, e-mail, etc.? By delaying the synch update you are alienating your early adopters. These are the very folks who would otherwise be giving glowing recomendations...

Under Windows XP, if you right click on 'My network Places', there is a 'Search for Computers.....' options. I have two routers connected to earch other (wireless and non-wireless with different 192.168... ranges) and I can use this feature to find computers in the other routers.

I am unable to use Vista RC1 Backup with this network drive. I have appropriate rights and can use Explorer to manage files. After selecting the drive and folder with Backup, I get a message that accounts are invalid. If I remove the username and password on the drive (public access) Backup won't let me proceed without the username and password. I have seen similar questions here, but no...

Can i connect a computer running XP Professional to a computer running XP Home??

I'm having trouble testing an ASP.net app on IIS7. In my application I'm testing the IP address of the host and acting on it. This test fails on Vista because the system is returning an invalid IP address for localhost. All 3 of the following commands return ::1 rather then 127.0.0.1 Ping...

Installed RC1 of Vista as an upgrade over XP-PRO. Vista can see the other shared drives on the other 3 machines on the network, but can not connect to them. The error keeps telling me to check the spelling of the name. When I view the network & sharing area it says I have a private network which I beleive is correct, but when I go to the properties of My Computer, it shows it as a...

Hi there, Since upgrading my xp to rc1 i have noticed that my download speed on my wireless network connection is just over 10% of what it was before. It claims the signal strength has gone from "Excellent" (xp) to "Poor" (RC1), even though the computer or router hasnt moved at all. I am using a dlink router and adapter, Could anyone offer any help??

My IPWireless modem connects to the pc via ethernet cable, and in XP used the PPPoE. After my upgrade to Vista the modem is not detected. My networking skills are not too hot and I would appreciate any insights.

I was doing this with BETA2. I have a simple VPN to set up using the wizard. I ask it not to conect, but save anyway, so that I can edit a few parameters. The dialog closes and there is no VPN connection to modify.

I don't have a solution, but I can offer some sympathy. I use a firewire cable to connect my laptop and desktop together. My desktop holds all my software and drivers, so I need a FW network to transfer them and VNC to the desktop. That's really what's keeping me running Windows XP right now...consider this a second request for a solution for a firewire network! Joey

I have created 2 shares on a Vista RC 1 5600 machine. The ACLs on both shares were - "Administrators: full control" - and nothing else. I could not access these shares from another machine (w2k), user the same username and password! The user account was a member of Administrators group on Vista. Explicitly adding "MyUser: full control" to the share permissions solved the
