Guest Ernie Lane Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I have a home wireless network, a "standard" one: the router is attached to a desktop (XP) and I have a laptop (Vista) that is wireless. I print using printer sharing on the desktop, so I know the laptop "sees" the desktop. That's confirmed in My Network Places -- on the laptop, I see Documents and Shared Documents on the desktop. However, it doesn't work in the other direction: nothing on the laptop, not even the laptop itself, shows up. However, if I click on "view workgroup computers" in Start...My Network Places, the computer is listed. I've already installed the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder, or at least I thought I did. I went through the MS KB document (KB922120), but when I ran services.msc on the desktop, it wasn't running. I've enabled file sharing, to allow all computers on the network to write to the Shared Documents folder. However, when I try to save a document there (from my laptop), it won't let me. Any suggestions?
