I have a Windows XP laptop connected to my home network through a wireless access
point. The XP laptop can access the internet and it can print to a computer connected
via hard wire to the network. However, I can't print to a different printer connected
to a new Dell PC desktop running Vista Home Premium. Neither the wireless laptop
nor the Vista computer (which is connected via wire) "see" each other when I try
to setup a home network. The other Win XP desktop that is wired to the router CAN
print to the Vista-connected printer. I also am able to network the XP desktop and
the Vista desktop and share files.
I tried turning off all firewalls and it did not help. I also made sure that the
Vista computer is set to "public" and I enabled file and print sharing on the Vista
machine.
When all three computers were running XP everything worked well. But since replacing
one of my desktops with a Vista machine, the Vista machine does not seem to recognize
any computer that is connected to the network through the wireless access point.
I searched for a thread with my exact configuration, but had no luck. I apologize
if this has been covered before.
