Networking with Vista and Win2K

[CJ59801]

I have two Vista computers and two Win2K computers on my home network. All
have the same workgroup and all were talking to each just fine. Then, tonight
when I open Network on my Vista machines, the Win2K machines were not there;
when I open Network on my Win2K machines, the Vista machines are there. Any
ideas as to what might have happened?

I have two Vista computers and two Win2K computers on my home network. All
have the same workgroup and all were talking to each just fine. Then,
tonight when I open Network on my Vista machines, the Win2K machines were
not there; when I open Network on my Win2K machines, the Vista machines
are there. Any ideas as to what might have happened?

What security/antivirus programs do you have installed on the machines?
Perhaps you have a Norton/McAfee/CA Associates/Trend product and it updated
itself and decided to block the network.

Look in Event Viewer on the Vista boxen for clues.

Start Orb>Search box>type: eventvwr.msc
