Connecting windows vista home premium to windows 2000 Pro

[Guest]

I there ...
Well I bought a new computer , an HP notebook with windows vista home
premium installed.
I have two more computers, with win 2000 pro installed.
With a router wireless I connect the two win 2000 pro via RJ45, when I go to
network place I saw both win 2000 pro computers.
The problem is the new one, the mobile, that is conected via wireless.
Well I can not see the mobile in the network computers that have windows pro.
And in the mobile I can not see the two that have win2000 pro, but I have
conection to internet in all three.
The questions is:
How can a put windows vista to comunicate with the two others ????, sharing
folders betwwen all ????
Thank's ...

Best regards

Hi Carlos,

There are Vista specific issues:
# Set the Network Location Type to "Private". This implies that your computers
are secure, behind a perimeter firewall or a NAT router, and opens the personal
firewall for file sharing.

And then general Windows Networking issues:
# Make sure that NetBT is Enabled consistently.
# Make sure that any third party firewalls are properly setup.
# Make sure that name resolution is consistently setup.

If you have WiFi computers involved, you'll possibly have a master browser
conflict. Look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer, and
diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
