Hello, I am sorry to bother you all with another thread of this nature, but I am pulling my hair out trying to resolve this issue. I just built a new quad core rig and installed vista x64 ultimate on it. I have 2 other computers with xp media center on them and they network fine. I can see everything that is shared between them. My new box with vista networked fine for about 4 hours, then it refused to show any other computer at all. I can ping all computers back and forth and they all see each other that way, but my xp machines wont see vista and visa versa. I have done everything possible to resolve this. I have no firewalls running (disabled windows firewall even though it has the right ports open). I uninstalled avg 8. All the settings for file and printer sharing should be correct (i have spent hours reading tutorials on how to setup xp/vista networks). No matter what I do, the xp computers will not see the vista computer even though they can ping each other, can be seen in the network map and they each have internet access. simple file sharing is turned off in xp, they all have identical usernames and passwords, they are in the same workgroup too. Does any one have any ideas? I will give a cookie to anyone who can help me solve this. Thanks :) -- johnnyx1900 |
