networking with Vista
I have 2 XP computers and 1 older Dell desktop. I am able to confirm
connectivity with the XP with the run/cmd/ipconfig. I don't know how I can access that information in Vista. I seem to get confusing status notices. Thanks for any and all help, I'm still confused with Vista but slowly getting there. Thanks again Carmen Carmen |

Re: networking with Vista
Hi
If the Vista computer have a valid Internet connection connectivity is probably OK. Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared. Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Jack (MVP-Networking).
