Guest me@tarquin.demon.co.uk Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I'm quite an experienced computer user but have never before tried to set up a home network and I have completely failed to succeed with it. Equipment is D/top with XP64, new Samsung Laptop with Vista32 and a fairly new Buffalo wireless/wired router. Both machines connect OK to the internet - D/top via cable to router and laptop by wireless. What I've failed to achieve is to set up a wired network between the 2 machines so we can exchange files and share the use of the printer connected to the D/top machine. However, I have been able to ping each machine from the other. The difficulty seems to be setting up the N/work on the D/top and seeing the laptop. Whereas I'd be delighted for someone to tell me where I've been going wrong, I'm unsure how to properly undo things on the D/top so I can start again and have another go at it. It seems quite straightforward under Vista on the laptop. Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated.
Guest Bobby Johnson Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit One of the problems is that for Vista to see XP is the XP needs LLTD. There is a download for XP 32-bit, but I have yet to find one for XP x64. Without the LLTD Vista will never see the XP machine. And, AFAIK, Vista will not allow you to see it until you set up a login for you to use. With all the "security" updates, I am currently forced to use a login for my XP machines, too. me@tarquin.demon.co.uk wrote: > I'm quite an experienced computer user but have never before tried to > set up a home network and I have completely failed to succeed with it. > > Equipment is D/top with XP64, new Samsung Laptop with Vista32 and a > fairly new Buffalo wireless/wired router. > > Both machines connect OK to the internet - D/top via cable to router > and laptop by wireless. > > What I've failed to achieve is to set up a wired network between the 2 > machines so we can exchange files and share the use of the printer > connected to the D/top machine.

Guest Tony Sperling Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit Ahem. . .You aren't using your normal straight through cables from your hub/switch, are you? If you are connecting two ethernet cards directly, you will need a crossed cable. Beyond this - if, I'm not mistaken, you should use unique 'computernames' for each PC, but the same 'workgroupname'. If you want to reconfigure everything from scratch you might consider uninstalling the device in question and reboot and then reinstall. It shouldn't be neccessary, but I find it to be reassuring whenever I want to make sure that I am not forgetting any of the essential steps doing stuff I don't do all of the time. Tony. . .

Guest Charlie Russel - MVP Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit You're pretty much right, Bobby. Without a Domain to manage things, the new networking in Vista makes it very difficult to "see" any downlevel clients. There are workarounds - if you've shared a device or folder on the downlevel machine (XP x64 in this case), you can explicitly connect to it by knowing the share name and the machine name, assuming you have the windows firewall configured to allow connections. So, for example, I can't browse and see my XP x64 VM (hp350-xpx64-01) from my Vista 64 desktop. But I _can_ connect to my Public folder on it, which is shared as "public" with full rights to all. From a command window: net use * \\hp350-xpx64-01\public works just fine. If you've matched your user names and passwords on both machines, you won't be prompted for credentials. BTW, if your DNS doesn't resolve the machine name, you can still use explict IP addresses for connections. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Bobby Johnson" <rjohnson@aol.NOSPAM.com> wrote in message news:%23LVUpX$8IHA.3336@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > One of the problems is that for Vista to see XP is the XP needs LLTD. > There is a download for XP 32-bit, but I have yet to find one for XP x64. > Without the LLTD Vista will never see the XP machine. > > And, AFAIK, Vista will not allow you to see it until you set up a login > for you to use.

Guest me@tarquin.demon.co.uk Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit Thank you all very much for you comments and advice. Difficult, or impossible to set up a simple network based on an X64 machine so that a physically connected Vista machine can use the XP64s printer! What on earth are Microsoft doing (or not doing)? I will have another go at it within a few days on the "shared folder" basis. At least it's good to know I wasn't just me doing something stupid.

Guest Bobby Johnson Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit I did copy the necessary files off a Vista x64 system and copy them onto my XP x64 system to install LLTD on it.

Guest Tom Ferguson Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit I suppose you do have to look at the section in the MSKB article, toward the bottom, entitled 'Hotfix for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)' to see that one should contact Microsoft support to get the Hotfix rather than the file downloadable from the page.

I came across this thread a couple months later than its posting, but I'd like to register that XP running LLTD seems not to be necessary for XP to be seen by Vista. I have a Vista 32-bit Business Edition with SP1 and an XP Pro Edition with SP3, and they see each other's Shared (XP) and Public (Vista) files just fine without LLTD. XP sees Vista in My Network Places, and Vista sees XP in Network. LLTD seems just necessary to draw the pretty pictures of the connected machines. *TimDaniels*
Guest Bobby Johnson Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit Have you checked in the network adapter's properties to see if LLTD isn't installed? If your's is working without LLTD then you are just about the only person in the world. When I first encountered this and I did a search via Google there were literally hundreds of posts about the problem and it took me a while to find the solution. Without LLTD installed on my XP 32-bit and XP x64 computers they would not show up in the Vista Network places. This is a direct quote from Microsoft: Overview This package contains the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) responder. The network map on a computer running Windows Vista shows a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network and how they are connected by using the LLTD protocol. The LLTD responder must be installed on a computer running Windows XP before it can be detected and appear on the network map. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. I surely hope knows a little bit about how Windows works! Timothy Daniels wrote: "Bobby Johnson" wrote: One of the problems is that for Vista to see XP is the XP needs LLTD.
