I have a small network setup at home that has one XP Home pc, one Xp pro and one Vista home premium PC. The two Xp pc's have no problem sharing folders or showing up in network places. However the XP home shows up on the Vista map intermittently even while I have mapped drives on the Xp home that Vista is able to access. I have the lltd protocol installed. The Xp pro seems to always be available to the Vista machine. So my problem is why does this pc show up intermittently? Sometimes the mapped drives are unavailable to but usually just can't see it on the network map. |
