Vista home networking

[Guest]

Hope someone can help me with this.

I'm having quite a few issues trying to get my new Vista machine to work
with the rest of my home network. I have 1 XP Pro desktop PC, and 2 Laptop
PC's running XP Home edition. All of them on a "MSHOME" network domain, and
I can share folders/printers among all of these machines without any problems.

On my new HP machine with Vista Premium Home, I've also set it up to be in
the same domain, and I've followed the instructions to make sure it is
network available (in the Network and Sharing center, everything is "On" --
network discovery, file sharing, etc.)

Now here's the strange part. When I go to the Network from Windows
Explorer, and look at the MSHOME domain -- I don't see any of the other
computers. Just the "local" machine.

On my XP Pro desktop, I *can* see the new HP machine, but when I click on it
to search for shared folders, it comes back with an error "You might not have
permission to use this network resource..."

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or something else to check?

Thanks.

Your XP machines will need the following update:

I've tried it all and I still can't get it working. I can see my computer
and none of the others, I cannot access the printer that is on the Vista
Computer from any of the XP computers, please help.

I'm running into the same exact problem. I can see the entire network
through vista on my desktop pc but can't access my xp laptop. My laptop
can't find my desktop pc. Both computers are in the same network group. My
desktop is wire connected to a linksys WRT54G router and the laptop connects
via wireless. I have installed the link layer topology and that is what
finally enabled me to see the xp laptop on the network map through the vista
desktop. I am unable to share the home network but my internet connection
works fine on both. I have also read through the majority of posts listed
here and have gone through the list of things here without any luck. I
would be greatly appreciative of any replies that I could get in resolving
the network issues I'm having. TIA.
