The reality is I have somehow got them to connect on one occassion and even transfered files, but without changing anything they wouldn't reconnect. :groan: There is a glitch in the system somewhere but it's beyond me. |

| 674787 | 2008-06-04 02:50:00 | I'm not really very familiar with Vista but is it possible that Vista has "automaticaly search for network folders" off by default when XP has it on? Could this be the culprit at all? | smokey (13809) | ||
| 674788 | 2008-06-04 21:49:00 | Is the XP machine xp Home or Pro ? XP Home SP2. From a professionals point of view I guess it would be handy to know the answer (if there is one) as looking at the number of people that have encountered this problem you're going to be faced with it sooner or later. :crying |

Could this be the culprit at all? I let them search automatically but that didn't work so I gave one the IP address of 192.168.0.1 and the other 192.168.0.2 and that got them connected but didn't show the drive or files marked shared. More correctly it did once but I could never get it to repeat effort. The first and only connection came about by changing the XP computers name. However, that didn't work the second time. Anyway, I got most of the music and photo files off whilst it was working, so he can do the few left with his flash drive. ;) |

| 674790 | 2008-06-04 22:59:00 | You could always try the bulletproof failsafe technique: 1. Click Start 2. Click Run 3. Type: "\\ip.address.of.other.pc\sharename" (sans quotes) 4. Press Enter That should open up the share directly, no need to muck about with the names, or what each PC can and can't see. Pretty much the only thing that will stop the above technique is a misconfigured firewall. |
