I have 3 PC's, and 2 Notebooks on a home network. I purchased a Vista Machine and can not see the XP Pro Machines. I have upgraded one machine to Vista and can see the other Vista machine, but still can not see the XP Boxes. All have file sharing and all have the same Workgroup Name. I can ping the machines, just not connect to them.

I'm having a problem with a Vista Home Premium system. When I attempt to connect to an Win2k3 RRAS system, the Vista laptop occasionally connects and works fine, but most of the time it hamgs at "verifying user name and password" and times out. I see a couple of different error messages on the client -- there is a 619 error and other times I receive an 806. I know it is a problem with the...

I'm having a problem connecting to a wireless network in an office where I'm working as a consultant. The network is specifically for guests, and I used it in the past. Not sure what changed, but about a week ago it stopped working. One thing that looks suspicious to me is that the network type is coming up as "adhoc (peer-to-peer)." I've checked with the IT person here, who doesn't...

Hi everybody, I have a small soho network consisting of a Netgear router, a PC using XP SP 3 (let's call it "XP PC"), and another PC ( let's call it "Vista PC) equipped with Vista Ultimate (French version sorry about my lousy translations of what I see and read).

To use some features on the Nascar.com web site, you need to log in through https://secure.audience.nascar.com. Problem is, the site can't be reached or pinged. Increasing ping time generates nothing but timeout errors. Something in the computer is blocking it from reaching that web address, whether it's entered as a name or a numeric address. This problem happens with four different web...

My ipaq with windows mobile 2edition 2003 can't run with vista :mad: Active syn also isn't working ?? -- Filippos Marino

Several weeks ago I had to buy a new notebook but did not have the extra money to have XP installed. So along with getting used to a new OS, I had to spend two weeks or more ironing out networking and connection problems. With a lot of patience and hard work eventually the problems got solved. I suggest to you to read here, MS's Knowledgebase, and make phone calls and you can get the tweaks...

I am a FIOS subscriber who conects to the internet via an Actiontec router. I want to assign static IP addresses to my laptop, and my kid's laptops. In the router, I have the ability to identify the IP address as "Static Leased". Also, I know that I can assigned a static IP address through VISTA. Is it necessary to do both? If not, is one preferable over the other? I don't want overkill, but want...
