Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit

[Guest Timothy Daniels]

Re: Help! N/working XP64 & Vista 32bit

 

I clicked on Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network Connections/Local Area

Connection/

Properties, and the GUI says "This connection uses the following items:", and it

lists

Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks,

and Internet Protocol [TCP/IP]", and all 3 items are checked. Is that what you

mean?

 

Regarding the quote from Microsoft, note that it says "The network map on a

computer running Windows Vista shows a graphical view...", and "The LLTD

responder must be installed on a computer running Windows XP before it can be

detected and appear on the network map." If "network map" means Vista's

"Network" list, then Microsoft is saying that XP needs LLTD. But if "network

map" means the "graphical view", than XP doesn't need LLTD. Maybe my

XP Pro/SP3 already has LLTD. But I sure don't remember downloading and

installing it.

Tim,

 

Yes, the "network map" referred to in Vista that requires the LLTD responder

for the XP machines is that graphical map that you get when you click on the

"View full map" in Network and Sharing Centre. It does not refer to what

you see if you open plain old "Network" (old My Network Places as it used to

be in XP).

 

FWIW, I never bother with the responder in XP - all my XP installs show up

in Network and can be browsed quite happily :)

Thanks for clarifying that, Jane. Although I had spent days

struggling to get XP to show up in Vista's Network folder, and

I was pretty sure that I hadn't installed LLTD because it wasn't

clear that it was needed for anything but the pretty diagram.
