    Hello all. I have a problem! I just got a new laptop and it is loaded with Vista, my older desktop has XP. I can not get them to see each other on my network! I'm using XP sp3 so the LLTD is incorporated (I tried to download it anyway and couldn't). I'm no expert on wireless home networks but I'm pretty sure I've done everything right. Workgroup names are the same, SSID match, I tried to map the shared drive, sharing is enabled in windows firewall on both pc's...

    Any suggestions would be great!

    Thanks. :confused:

    You really should have posted this as a new, separate thread because it's not likely to get much of a response being tagged onto the end of the stickied how-to thread.

    I would suggest that you contact the moderators and ask that the post be put into a separate thread so that you'll have a better chance of actually getting some help.
