XP shares, Vista will not
New to wireless networking and need some guidance. Nothing exactly like my
problem in other posts. Have a wireless network with XP desktop, Linksys router, and Vista Laptop. The Vista laptop also has a guest XP running under VPC 2007. Everything seems to work except this one thing: Neither XP machine can see the shared folders on the Vista machine, but can see shared folders on each other. The Vista machine shows the folders as shared if you use Vista's network discovery center. The Vista machine can see both XP's shared folders. No passwords are required to access shared folders on the LAN. The Vista firewall is set up to allow networking exceptions. I've run out of ideas on what else to try. I sure it's something stupid, but any help would be appreciated ! =?Utf-8?B?RWR1YXJkbw==?= |

RE: XP shares, Vista will not
Fixed the problem. Turns out the Vista host was
using a different workgroup name (not sure how that happened), which prevented the XP machines from having access. Not sure why Vista could see the XP files under the same conditions, but maybe that's just a difference with Vista. All 3 of the machines were using the same network name, just not all the same workgroup. "Eduardo" wrote: > New to wireless networking and need some guidance.
