Post subject: Vista can not see XP Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>networking_sharing (more info?)
Hi
I need some help with networking Vista and XP. Hopefully someone from this
forum can help me.
I. Problem:
=======
I am not able to access the Dell XP computer from the HP Vista desktop. View
full map from Vista shows both the Dell XP and HP Vista desktops. However, I
can not access the Dell XP desktop.
From the Dell XP desktop, I am able to access the HP Vista Public folder.
II. Background information on HP Vista
=========================
1. Network and Sharing Center info:
Network discovery: on
File sharing: on
Public folder sharing: on
Printer sharing: on
Media sharing: off
2. Wokrgroup on HP Vista: WORKGROUP (same as the XP)
3. Firewall info on HP Vista:
Both Windows and Norton firewalls are on.
I have tried turning off each one at a time to test.
I have also tried turning off both for testing.
None worked. I was still not able to access the Dell XP
4. NetBT (NetBios over TCP/IP)
I tried Enable, Disable and Default.
I saw different results from browstat as a result of different settings.
I need more information and suggestion here.
I tried setting both Vista and XP to have the same settings.
III. Background information on Dell XP
========================
1. Local Area Connection 2 Properties, the followings are checked:
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder (I downloaded the LLTD)
2. Wokrgroup on Dell XP: WORKGROUP (same on Vista)
3. Firewall info on Dell XP:
Windows firewall is on.
I had McAfee Virus scan, but uninstalled it.
4. NetBT (NetBios over TCP/IP)
I tried Enable, Disable and Default.
I saw different results from browstat as a result of different settings.
I need more information and suggestion here.
I tried setting both Vista and XP to have the same settings.
VI. HP Vista ipconfig, browstat, and net config info
================================
1. ipconfig /all

Thank you in advance for any help. I have spent the last couple of days
trying to figure this out.
I viewed many posts on this forum and read PChuck's Network page (lots of
good info. Thanks).
All of them seem a bit different from the problem I am seeing.
I hope someone can help.
