I have 3 pc's here. 2 are on Windows 2000 and this one on Vista. I have
been through the wizards to setup a network. It's private, discovery and
sharing is enabled. I have setup the shares, I have asked Vista to detect
computers on the network. From a 2000 machine, I cannot log into the Vista
machine nor see it in Network Places. From Vista, the 2000 machines are not
detected. All are connected to a Belkin router via Ethernet. I do not
understand what is going on. I have done everything from all machines to
have them find each other and only the 2000 machines can find each other.
Now, I don't have a phD in networking and have setup this network previously
without problem with Linux and XP. Is there a way to shut down all this
security as the other two machines are trusted? I thought I did without
needing passwords and passphrases, taking down then WAN from Windows and
letting the router handle that. This really is unacceptable not having home
network or making it a nightmare to setup. I am not a beginner or even a
novice and this sucks.
