This is hard to explain, so try to stay with me.

 

 

 

I networked FOUR computers.

 

One is connected to our router directly and is named 'Bedroom' (xp)

 

One is a laptop connected to a printer. aptly named 'Laptop' (vista)

 

One is a Desktop connected by cable to the router in the office again aptly named 'Office' (98 se)

 

One is a Desktop that used to be used by me and my brother named 'Kidscomputer' (xp prof) that also has a printer, but there isn't a vista driver for the printer so the Laptop can't use it.

 

 

 

The computer in the bedroom can print to all of the other computers. Everything works fine except for hte laptop can't see the bedroom. Any idea why this is?

 

 

 

Do you guys need more info?

It'll be because of Vista, was for mine. I think I also had a problem like this with my home network, unfortunately I don't remember how I fixed it :(

Ty, should I have the host be vista?

 

Only thing is you can see one of the xp machines, just not the other one. Maybe it has to do with XP prof?

What I'm thinking would be the workgroup name. I have 2 computers, one has XP and the other has Vista, and on the same workgroup, I can access any of them from one computer.

Ours are all titled 'MSHOME'

Ours are all titled 'MSHOME'

 

That is the defualt by Microsoft.

Wouldn't that be saying the previous was wrong?
