My Vista Ultimate Computer is not cooperating in my home network. It cannot
see nor bee seen by any device in my network. My home network is fairly
simple but it consists of the following:
(LOTS of Info so please bear with me)
Linksys WRT350N Router:
My Computer: Vista Ultimate, connected by wire, Uses Bitdefender 2008
Internet Security, Sees nothing, Nothing sees it*
Mother's Computer: Xp Home, Connected Wirelessly (Linksys Wireless Internet
Adapter 300N), Uses Zone Alarm Internet Security, Cannot See Vista puter*
Archos 704 Portable Media Player: Connected Wirelesly, Can see Xp puter,Can
be seen by XP puter when it is in device mode and file server mode
Nintendo Wii: Connected Wirelessly ...obviously...
*Everything can be 'seen' on both the Vista and XP machines when I use the
Linksys EasyLink Program and with a trial version of Network Magic (installed
on both machines).
-XP shows up on Vista Network Map (thanks to LLTD Responder or whatever it
is )but not in the newtwork folder
-I can ping both computers either way (XP->Vista,Vista->XP)
-I can access shared folders on both machines through either machine by
using the Run command and typing the IP address .
-I am sharing a printer on the XP Machine, but Vista is only able to connect
to it ONCE every so often, when ever it feels like it it seems (this is thru
RUN>IP Address and then right clicking on the Printer Icon). It is shared
thru the XP machine
-I have disabled the Windows firewall on both puters, even their personal
firewalls/antivirus...and nothing.
-Both Computers are in the Same Workgroup
-NetBios over TCP/IP is enabled in both Network Connections on both puters
-I have tried everything suggested in this discussion group, from the
Microsoft Technet 'File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista' article,
everything from the PChuck Articles (I guess from Chuck[MVP]), everything
that Mick Murphy usually suggests (see,I have read thru quite a bit of
discusions here!)
The thing that gets me is that everything use to work like it was supposed
to but then one day it stopped, so I suspect a Window Update to be at fault.
I will post the output from my ipconfig/all in a reply.
Thanks to anyone who has read this far, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
