Deathmath Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 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?

tryto Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 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 :( When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. ~Jonathan SwiftWebsite Updates/Corrections here.

Deathmath Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 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? Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
