Vista Shares...

[NewsBot]

Still can't get my wife's Vista machine(new Dell 530) to see a share I made on my Vista machine(Dell XPS 720). I made all computers in the house the same workgroup using our last name.

 

I've follow every instruction on this site:

http://www.maximumpcguides.com/share-a-folder-in-windows-vista/

 

I made a share of my music folder, adding Everyone as a co-owner.

 

But when I go to her network setting and double-click my computer it sits there for 30 seconds and says it can't connect.

 

Am I missing anything?

 

Both of our computer are right into the back of the ADSL router, would it work if we were in a normal hub together? My boys have their laptops into a hub so it would be easy to run a wire to that. Youngest also has a new computer (Dell 1525 laptop) with Vista and can't get him to connect to mine either.

 

Here's my network:

 

ADSL -> Router -> My computer (Vista Home)

******************|******-> Wifes computer (Vista Home)

***************** |***** ->*Other computer (XP Pro)

***************** |

***************** |

******************----> Hub*--> Laptop (XP Pro)

******************|************* --> Laptop #2 (Vista Home)

***************** ---> Linksys wireless --> Upstairs computer plugged in (XP Pro)
