I have a home network with four computers. 2 are desktops, both running
Vista, both connected by Ethernet cable to a router. The third is a laptop
running Vista, and the fourth is a desktop running Media Center XP -- both
connected wirelessly to the network. The two wireless computers and one of
the Vista Desktops can all connect and access each other. The fourth desktop
can only access the other desktop connected by ethernet cable and the
Internet -- not the two wireless computers.

When I try mapping on the uncooperative desktop, it says Windows cannot
create a network map. It is listed as private, not public, and the LLTD
boxes are checked. When I look at the router software, all of the computers
show up as attached devices. Firewall is not set to block any of the
computers. Not sure what else to do.

Any suggestions?

Can you ping uncooperative Vista by IP?
