Well, to start I just got Windows Vista a few months ago. It works great, but the trouble came when I decided to connect all of my computers - XP Home, XP Professional and Vista - to a home network. I have a broadband connection that connects into my wireless router, and the Vista connects, wired, through that router. My ethernet printer also connects through that router. I have 2 wireless computers, an XP Home and XP Professional, that connect to the router's wireless connectivity. Whenever I go into the Vista Network center, I can always connect to the other XP computers, but when I go into the My Network Places in any of the XP ones, I can see the Vista, but cannot connect to it. I get an error message saying, "You do not have permission to access this network resource." I have no clue whats wrong. I tried downloading that update (I don't remember the name) that lets you see the entire network on Vista, and that worked, but only for the Network Map. Please help if you can!

You need sharing capabilities. I do not want to go too much into it myself at the risk of losing you in the message. Could not find you a great.understan dler tutorial either. But I did find you an emaple you can follow, I use this at work:
This deals with files and printers, but should help you get started to see your machine carrying vista: http://www.cnet.com.au/desktops/pcs/...0055565,00.htm
Pay close attention to Step 3: Create a workgroup
Please write again if this doe not help. I will look for more options. If all else fails, be prepared to read a journal from me:-)
In a bit!

Well, I have a workgroup, called BELLAIR HOME. Everything is set up and working. I can share files, printers, everything. I just can't (from the XP computers anyway) open my Vista computer in the My Workgroup.Comment

I Google something for you and the link found was indeed a Microsoft one, but was broken. Decided to query "?=&qu=Network+ XP+computers+wi th+Vista+Comput ers" through above link and therefore. Give it a whirl.
