Re: XP - Vista Networking problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks,

I have the McAfee Firewall turned off on both computers with only the
Windows firewall running. I can ping the Vista portable from the XP desktop
(192.168.1.101) but I can't ping the desktop (192.168.1.100) from the Vista
laptop. I'm pretty sure I have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP. I also tried
disabling the SPI Firewall in the Linksys router but no help there either.

Thanks,

Rick

Have you enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP? Also it could be 3rd party security
software issue. For troubleshooting, try clean boot.

I have a Desktop running XP - SP3 wired to a Linksys wireless router. My
Vista laptop is wireless. I can connect to the Internet fine from either
machine. I can see and access the laptop from the desktop but I can't see
the desktop XP machine from the Vista laptop. I went through this same
thing with my network up north but now that we've moved back to Florida
I've got the same problem. McAfee network management shows both machines
on the network but I can't access shared files and printers from the
laptop.

I know there are some settings I need to make to the Vista laptop but I
can't remember what I did to get it working up north.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Rick
