i got a weird one for you.
I have a home network with 1 Mac OS 10.4.9, 2 XP machines SP2, one with LLTD
patch, other without and a Vista Business. Router is a speedstream 6520
modem/router.
Problem: When i go to view network map, i only see the XP box with LLTD.
Yesterday, and this occured a few days back as well, i could see everything,
all the machines but at the bottom of the view (which is fine).
Now if i clicked on "view computers and devices" because i am trying to
connect to the computers via a GUI, i dont see anything (not even the LLTD
box, just itself, Vista and the router). Just like above, i was able to see
them yesterday and a few days back... Nothing has changed, only thing i can
think of if the sleep mode that kicked in overnight?
I want vista to see and display the other machines
Here is what i did or checked:
*i can ping all machines from Vista
*i can connect to the machines via \\IPaddress
*they are all on the same workgroup
*i do have network detection and file sharing enabled
*Firewall has been turned off
*i am clicking on the refresh symbol in my device window to update changes
*i have tried rebooting multiple times since i started troubleshooted this
issue
*i dont have 3rd party firewall or AV installed on Vista nor XP boxes
*i have disabled IPv6 on NIC of Vista computer
*all accounts have multiple user accounts with passwords and i can connect
to them
I just dont get what causes my working network to "dissapear" from the
display in Vista when it's there the day before and no reboot or changes
made... I hope you guys have an answer, i'm losing my mind over this.
