Still the 2127, and that will definitely interfere with ability to see other
computers. The 1130 is on MARGARET-PC, and the 2127 on RJC-RUTLAND.

The 2127 is the problem then. The trouble is that I don't have any idea how
to fix it or what causes it. The stacks are at dec.50 on both machines so I
guess that it can't be that.

The published limit of 50 is for Windows 2000 / XP. I have no documentation for
Vista, but since Vista uses more resources overall, maybe it's higher. Use
Process Explorer, watch key metrics as it is right now, and get used to how
things look. Then increase the stacksize on the server still more, and see if
something breaks.

The error 53 says that you don't have registry (administrative) access to the
other computer. Is Toby using Guest access? Does Toby run XP Home?

The Toby computer is an std, single user administrator account (there are no
passwords on any of the accounts).
I have downloaded and installed Process Explorer but I'm not familiar with
this program although it looks like it could be informative.
I have increased the IRPStackSize in steps up to dec.200 on both the Vista
(Margaret-PC machine) and the XP machine (RJC-Rutland) and it has made no
difference, so I'm back at the same brick wall...................please
Help!!!
I am going to borrow a different make (D-Link) of router and see if that
makes a difference, I have already tried using the LAN connections thus
bypassing the wireless parts without effect.

Not to rob the thread, but I have a very similar issue that Richard is
experiencing. I had a 2Wire router/modem a few weeks ago, and my XP machines
were visible from my Vista Laptop. The 2wire router went boom...so my ISP
provided provided me with a new Gigaset Router/modem and I can no longer see
my xp machines in the network browser. I also can not see any network shares
or use UNC for network shares on my XP machines from my Vista Laptop. What
I can do is access the network shares on the XP machines via direct IP.

Do I need to reset the XP share

You really should start a new thread.

If you can access by IP address, but not by host name (UNC), you have a SMB
problem. This will generally be related to the NetBT setting, or a personal
firewall.

Recent updates to Internet Explorer (yes, to IE) can cause problems to Windows
Networking.

Hi again.

FIXED IT !!!!!!!

It was Kaspersky Internet Security. Even though I have tried exiting
Kaspersky and also tried to stop it loading using MSConfig it still blocked
the networking with a Vista Machine when the Vista machine was not master
browser. It only started working when I completely uninstalled it and loaded
Sophos instead.

I've binned Kaspersky now and I'll try Sophos instead.

Thanks for all your help.

Richard.
