Vista to XP

[Guest]

Hi All,
I have a small wireless network.
1 PC running XP Pro
1 PC running Vista Pre
Both access the internet via the same wireless router
From the XP Pro PC under Network connection, I can see the Vista PC (however
cannot access it, I'm guessing I have not setup premissions yet for that)
However from the vista PC, I cannot even see the XP PC. I can ping, but
nothing shows in netowk

Ideas?

I have the same problem. I followed the suggestion for the patch with no luck.

Hi

the patch is not a solution to any network problems
it purely allows vista network map to see and display Xp Machines

to attempt to sort the problem try networkmagic
thats usefull to solve hassles

cheers

Follow these guidelines from MS. Also, set all computers to use NetBIOS
over TCPIP in the properties for the network connection.
