View 6 RepliesA new Vaio laptop with Vista Home Premium. (They pre-installed Norton 360) Having a home network of a few computers, I disconnected one of them and connected the Vaio instead. I can get to the Internet but I don't "see" the other computers. Looking at any one of the other computers - they see each other but not the Vaio. (I did named the network with the same name). I suspected it is the Firewall (They pre-installed Norton 360) I turned Norton's off AND Vista.No success.

I am very new to Vista. I have a small home network. The three XP machines on the network use static IP addresses. One of the XP machines shares a printer. When I open Windows Explorer and click on Network the only computer listed is the Vista Business machine.
I cannot find any way to search for a computer by entering the computer name or IP address as I can in Explorer on XP. I have no idea what the search box in the upper right corner is supposed to do but it does not work. As soon as I type any character in the box it says "No items match your search." I can ping the XP machine from a command window on the vista machine. If I do DIR \COMPUTERNAMEPRINT$ at the command prompt the directory on the XP machine is listed. I can see the Vista machine in Explorer on the XP machine. What must I do to allow Vista to see the other computers on the network?
I have 2 computers connected at my home (A PC running XPsp2 wired connection and laptop Vista Home Premium via wireless connection). The connection is working fine and I can see the desktop PC from my laptop network page. Is there a way I can find the IP address of the desktop without manually having to go there? I can do it for my laptop by going to network and sharing center >> view status etc. Is there a way preferably without using cmd to find the IP of a remote computer connected via LAN?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I connect a laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium to a network of several computers running Windows XP Professional using network cables? When I select "Connect to" in the start menu, set up a "connection or network", the available options include:
1. "Connect to the internet", but the laptop is already connected to the internet
2. "Set up a wireless router or access point" - I don't want this
3. "Manually connect to a wireless network" - I want to connect to a non-wireless network
4. "Set up a wireless ad hoc network" - I use wires!
5. "Set up a dial up connection" - I have a broadband connection already working
6. "Connect to a workplace" - I want to make the laptop part of the home network
Which of these options should I choose, or should I do something totally different?
Two PC's, a Linksys WRT54GS router and an ADSL modem connected via ethernet cables. Internet works fine on both computers but file sharing not quite well. I am able to reach the contents of shared folders by IP, using form "\192.168.1.xxx" or "\computername" but I cannot see the computers in Network window. I have installed LLTD on computer runs xp. I also have got the lastest service packs (vista: SP1, xp: SP3) and the latest updates installed on both computers. This 64 bit vista is newly installed, because of new hardwares (mobo, cpu, ram). I used a 32 bit version before and the sharing stuff worked fine. XP system is the same, I did not touch it except LLTD. Both computer belongs to the same workgroup. Of course in vista I have enabled File sharing, Network discovery and Public folder sharing. I have set a Private Network. I can access other computer's content by typing IPs or computer names in Run dialog box, but I cannot see them (only local computer) in Network window.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have a network connected to the internet through a T1 with 4 2003 Servers and several XP machines connected. We also have a Checkpoint firewall connected. Any time I try to connect a computer with Vista on it, it connects and can access the Internet fine. But EVERY other computer on the network loses connection. In the event log on the 2003 servers, it shows event id 4, network link is down. As soon as I disconnect the Vista computer, all of the others come back online. I've searched and searched for a resolution to this problem, but haven't found any. I'm really afraid the someone with a Vista laptop might come in and try to connect to the Internet (without telling me, of course) and cause the whole network to go down.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a home wireless net work consisting of three computers. I have had this network set up and running for about three years (so I am not "brand new" at this). However, what has changed is the fact that now one of my computers runs Vista - the other two run Windows XP Home (formerly, of course, all three were running Win XP). I am sure that my problem lies within the fact that Vista is more secure and there by is putting up some "road blocks" that I am unfamiliar with.
On my VISTA computer - I can currently open and share files with my other two XP computers without any problem. On my XP computers - this is where I am having my problems - I have not been able to access my "shared" files residing on the Vista computer.

The new Network Map in Windows Vista allows you to easily create a map of all computers on your network and see how they are connected. This works by using the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol that is only part of Windows Vista.Â
To help users of mixed environments of both Windows Vista and Windows XP, Microsoft has released the Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder for Windows XP. This will make your Windows XP computers show up in the Network Map in Windows Vista.
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 have 2 Vista machines and 1 XP media center machine which were all visible to each other and between which files could be shared. Today I installed the MS updates for the Vista machines and could not see other computers on one of the Vista machines (Desktop Vista machine), nor could the other two machines see the Desktop Vista machine. I system restored back to a day previous and the same situation prevails. Strangely, the other Vista machine (Laptop Vista) can see the XP machine, and the LT Vista was updated and remains so.All machines are discoverable and all have shared folders.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used to be able to connect to the network in my shared house with no problem via the wireless but at some point it just dropped off and was doing so intermittently, then it refused to connect point blank. The router is in the room next door to mine and the computer can see it is there with 100% 'reception' but it cannot connect to it. It works fine via the ethernet cable that I have but not wirelessly. In addition to this I can connect to an unsecured network wirelessly that occassionally becomes available which has less reception than the one I am trying to access. I don't understand why I can connect to one but not the other. I have not been able to connect wirelessly to this network for months now, and whilst the ethernet is working fine using it defies the point of having a laptop and wanting to move it around.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have cable internet, that runs to a Linksys BFESR41 router, one hardwire goes out to the PC. One hardwire goes out to the internet connection for a Linksys WRT54G, which then provides the internet access for both laptops. Linksys tech support helped me get internet to all three computers. They had me do a MAC clone on the wired router and PC to get internet working on the PC. Then they had me hook the wireless router to the wired router via the wireless router internet "in" connection. I want to network all three computers so that I can access files on each computer, as well as share a printer that is connected to the PC. As of now I have internet on all three computers, but they do not "find/see" each other.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a home office network with one new Dell laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic which I bought a couple of weeks ago, one desktop with Windows XP Pro and one older laptop with Windows XP Pro. The laptops are connected wirelessly, the desktop is using a wired Ethernet connection.
Obviously, there have been never a problem with XP machines. Initially, the Vista machine was also able to connect to everybody else. I didn't even bother to look at the settings because everything worked. Then I went to a business trip, and connected to other networks, including wireless public ones in the airports. When I came back, I was unable to share files or even see other computers on the LAN. The internet connection is working fine though. Oh yes, and I also installed a couple of updates, probably some of those constituting Service Pack 1 as well.
When I checked the network, to my surprise, it turned out that it became "Public" (could this be "guilt by association" - the airport wireless networks are public, so my home network is public, too?). I changed it to "Private". Didn't help. Checked shares, made sure that the users have the same passwords. Ditto. I deleted the history of the airport networks. Still the same.........
ComputerA, running Windows XP 32-bit has a shared folder in read-only mode called SFiles with a sign-on of CAShare and a password of ZXJK1122. ComputerB, running Windows Vista 64, in the Network entry of Windows Explorer shows ComputerA. When I expand ComputerA I can see the SFiles shared folder undereath and when I try to click on the folder it asks me for a sign-on and password. I answer with CAShare and ZXJK1122, and it asks me if I want to save this information and I say yes. Subsequently, when I click on the SFiles shared folder it gives me read-only access to the files in the shared folder. This works excellently.
Subsequently, on ComputerA, I decide to change the password for the sign-on of CAShare from ZXJK1122 to NPPP345T. Now on ComputerB when I try to click on the SFiles shared folder in Windows Explorer I get a message of: "Windows can not access \ComputerASFiles with an error code of Ox80070005, Acces is denied."
That's fair enough, since I changed the password for the sign-on. So I want Windows Explorer on ComputerB to ask me for a new password, and I will reply NPPP345T and now have read-only access again which is fine. But it does not do this but repeatedly denies me access each time I click on the shared folder. Surely there must be some way to tell Window Explorer to get a new password from me for this share. How do I do that ? It seems impossible that Vista will keep me from accessing shared folders of another computer on my network simply because it has decided that I can not change the signon/password to the other computer's shares.
Nice to meet u all! I am using vista home premium and when i right click on the wireless internet thing (the two computers with the red "x" or w/e) and click on "connect to a network" i get this windows explorer stopped working error... and when i try to click on "start" and then "connect to" it says that rundll32 has stopped working error... this is really frustrating...
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am networking Vista and XP. Everything seems to be working EXCEPT the XP computer does not show up in in the Vista network folder. I can access the XP computer by entering \computername in the "start search" box, after which I see all the XP shared files and can access the files as expected. When I run the "map complete network" function, the network map is correct and shows the switch, XP computer, and Vista computer. The XP side works 100%
The only problem is that on the Vista side when you open an explorer window and click on Network, the XP computer doesn't show up. For purposes of debugging, both firewalls are off. Authentication is set to NTLMv1 level, and the XP LLTD patch has been applied.
I'm posting this from another laptop using the same router. It seems this is a common problem without any certain resolution. I've tried most of the plentiful suggestions on the web without success. I obviously don't want to flatten the laptop and re-load just to get internet access back.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two computers at home, both using XP, both directly connected to the speedtouch modem/router (it only has two network slots). My friend just bought a notebook, an Asus F3K. Since he only got Vista drivers with it, we installed Vista Ultimate. Everything went as planned, and it all works ... but the network connection. At first I connected it using my first computer's cable. It says "local only". Now the fun part ... I went to my second computer and connected the laptop to the network using this computer's cable ... and it suddenly worked fine.
But, even though ... both XP computers run fine and have no network problems, as long as I don't use one of their cables to connect the laptop. It's an Asus F3K as I said, using a RealTek network card. I unticked the IPv6 in the network connection properties, and I followed the "additional information". My friend also tried to connect it at home, but he got "local only" as well. We both use the same internet provider and have the same modem/router. Also, when Vista starts solving the problem it identifies the modem/router to be the problem ... but both modems work fine if we use XP. Using XP on my friend's computer is not an option at the time, since all of the supplied drivers and applications are Vista only.
i just got a new PC last friday with 64bit vista ultimate and i have been having alot of problems with hooking it up to my home network. At first, i would plug it in and it would only let me get into "local area connection" local access only. I did a repair install which got rid of all updates that the company had put on, so its a fresh SP1 install. Now i can sometimes get it to connect to the internet, but the speed is ridiculously slow, like if i look at the antivirus updaters for speed (i cant access speedtest.net cuz it says i dont have flash or w.e. and it wont let me download it cuz the site wont load) i get max speeds of...4 kb/s.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy laptop is connected to a NetGear router, and has been for over a year with no problems. I went on vacation and used another network for a week and when I came back I can no longer connect to the internet with my home network. I am connected to the network, but it says 'Local Only'. If I disconnect and reconnect again, it will tell me I have an internet connection, but as soon as I try to access a web page with my browser, it drops the connection. I CAN connect via ethernet cable with no problems, and no other computers on the network are having any issues. I've tried resetting the network adapter, uninstalled my antivirus, tried disabling my firewall, updated my wireless network adapter driver.

This is still unresolved even though I've tries every suggestion on the
net. It seems people usually give up at this stage and reload Vista. My
original post is now on page 3 so probably won't get read anymore.
It's pointess going to Microsoft - it has been a know problem since
Vista was released, and apparently they have done nothing about it.
I do know it's not the router. I do know it's not the wireless adaptor.
I do know I'm not getting any DNS.
