Sorry, quick update. I just dug a little deeper in the workaround, and the
files it says to place in specific folders already exist, probably because I
already ran the LLTD install.
Is it possible that SP3 not being installed is my problem?

to be key to fixing certain problems. However, I'm having problems getting
SP3 to run, and based on postings in the XP group, I'm thinking my download
may have been corrupted due to anti-virus software.
Assuming this is not an easy fix, I did see some reference to workarounds
for not having SP3. I think they had something to do with placing certain
files in certain folders. Do you know if these workarounds are reliable?

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

I know there have been many posts on this issue, and I've tried the
troubleshooting tips on many of these, to no avail, so I'm going to
explain
my specific situation in the hopes that someone can figure this out.
A few months ago, I purchased a Vista laptop. Up to that point, I'd been
using multiple XP computers on my home wireless and wired network, and
have
been able to share files and printers on my main desktop without any
troubles. I still have an XP laptop, and continue to be able to access
the
files and printer on my XP desktop without any problem.
The issue is that I cannot see my desktop from the Vista laptop, and have
not been able to access the files on my desktop. I also cannot see the
laptop from my desktop, but since I'm not planning to access files in that
direction (e.g., access laptop files from the desktop), I don't really
care
about that problem.
As I mentioned, I've reviewed and tried to follow lots of troubleshooting
advice (example linked below). Example: both computers are using the
group
name "MSHOME," file sharing is turned on on the laptop, XP patches
installed,
etc. Based on what I've seen so far, it seems like my problem may be on
the
XP desktop.
Can anyone suggest any additional troubleshooting steps?
Thanks,
Todd
