Guest Ernie Lane Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 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, at least for that (or is it that the laptop sees the desktop?). That's confirmed in Network -- on the laptop, I see the deskrop's Documents ,Shared Documents and Printers. 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 on the desktop, the laptop computer is listed. However, if I double-click on that icon, I get only the Printers and Public folders. 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. Besides, I'm not sure that service does what I want. 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?
Guest Mir Mehdi Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 RE: XP computer doesn't see Vista computer on network These are the best steps to find where the problem is.... bit long but this can fix many issues with Networking. Considering that we are using xp computers on the network (2) They are connected using a router ( OR MAY BE WITH HUB) but you can always try in your case too... Computer 1 - windows xp - ip 192.168.0.1 - file system ntfs - guest account on - file and printer sharing enabled -new admin user called "test" with password "test" Computer 2 - windows xp - ip 192.168.0.2 - file system ntfs - guest account on - file and printer sharing enabled -new admin User called "test" with password "test" Remove TCP/IP Version 6 and Client service for netware It is best practice to trouble shoot in safe mode with networking and perform the following steps in all computers first try the following command that will clear all the cached entires ipconfig /flushdns arp -d When try to access a remote computer, you may receive the following error messages: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource". "Access is denied" "Network path was not found." "System Error 5 has occurred" "System Error 51 has occurred" "System Error 53 has occurred" "System error 70 " - Remote server is being paused or being restarted. a. Have you enabled the sharing? Use net view IP and net share. b. Do you have the permission issue? Net view displays - System error 5. c. Do you have firewall issue? Net view will tell it - System error 53. d.
