He may be able to Help more. I could not get Networking Working both ways either, and gave up. I don't have Vista running anymore to experiment. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Sharing from Xp to Vista Sunday, February 18, 2007 at 8:34 pm Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (6749 messages posted) Exactly what folder is shared on the XP computer? What antivirus and/or internet security program is installed on the XP computer? Is the XP computer Home or Pro? If Pro, is Simple File Sharing enabled or disabled? [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Sharing from Xp to Vista Sunday, February 18, 2007 at 9:12 pm Posted by Mathew Vannoy (6 messages posted) I Just want access to the shared folder and the printer that is on my xp computer. I am running xp pro, and vista ultimate on the other pc. File sharing is enabled but it still says no access, and the only firewall on the xp computer is defender, and it is turned off. But my Xp computer can see the vista computer and access the vista public drive with no problem, they are both on the same workplace also On Sunday, February 18, 2007 at 8:34 pm, Dan Sarandrea, MCSE wrote: >Exactly what folder is shared on the XP computer? > >What antivirus and/or internet security program is installed on the XP computer? > >Is the XP computer Home or Pro?

I have XP shares on a machine with internal IP 192.168.0.1. 1) I have shares on public folders, root folders, and others. 2) I have opened permissions on the public folders and others to everyone. 3) Both the new Vista Laptop, and the XP desktop are on the workgroup named...what else...WORKGROUP. 4) I am going wireless from the laptop to a 802.11b router. 5) I can access the shares on the XP box from other wireless laptops. 6) I have removed the Norton Firewall software that came pre-loaded. 7) I have tried with the Vista firewall up and with it down. 8) The network map shows the XP machine I'm trying to reach, and even the network folder shows that machine at times, but I can never get it to show me the share names. 9) I cannot even Ping the XP machine from the vista machine...this is very strange since it IS showing up by name in the map. This is the goofiest thing I've ever seen in 12 years of network programming. I'm about ready to kill Vista, and install XP Pro. Thanks for any assistance you can give. Erik T.
