849103 2010-01-15 23:42:00 Hi guys.
Installed a Wireless Router/Modem now trying to sort network out as some can see some but none an see all(3 Vista and 2 XP)
Network is ok as all can print and access internet
Saw a thread some time ago where there was a download or ??? that would make XP computers visible to Vista computers. Any one remember or can help.

Cheers
Colin

That was the one
I was looking for.
But ran program on both machines and both came back and told me that a SP installed was later than the install so didnt need to install it.

Any other suggestions

Sorry took so long but got tied up.
Network discovery on.

Vista 1 cannot see any other.
Vista 2 cannot see any other.
XP Laptop can see XP Dell but not access files
XP Dell can see Laptop but cannot access files.

Appropriate files are shared.

When I click on the visible other computer a message is returned.
Not Accessible. You might not have permission to use this network. Contact admin etc.
Access denied.

Possibly firewall but dont know where/how to configure it.
Using Commodo On all Machines.

849108 2010-01-17 03:10:00 There you go comodo is the prob. Go into the network option if its got one, and configure all of them. I dont use a firewall or comodo. So, cant tell you where to look Speedy Gonzales (78)
849109 2010-01-17 03:19:00 The other way is to go into Comodo's settings and allow the complete range from the router 1-254 through.

Cant advise where the setting is off hand as I stopped using comodo ages ago as well.

Wainui. Looked in Commodo and found the network. The entry reads.

Name
IP In [192.168.1.103 / 225.225.225.0]
Is this what it should be????

849112 2010-01-17 04:00:00 Delete it then reboot if it appears in all of them. It should pick up the network. And allow you to add it again Speedy Gonzales (78)
