| 638109 | 2008-02-10 23:03:00 | The other computers are XP and OSX. The XP computer doesn't seem to have any problems picking up the OSX network, so I don't see why the Vista one should. Went into firewall and allowed network access, but should try with it off entirely. Maybe I'll set up router firewall and disable entirely? | Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||
| 638110 | 2008-02-10 23:07:00 | Do all of them HAVE the same workgroup name?? I would change all of them to Vista's default workgroup name, which I think is workgroup. |

Instructions from Microsoft on How (windowshelp.microsoft.com) or a More graphical View (www.home-network-help.com) THEN comes the fun part - sharing Vista folders, if you have any problems with them please advice, its different to sharing than XP. |

| 638112 | 2008-02-11 20:02:00 | No doubt about it. Problem was definitely associated with Jzip. Downloaded it from 2 locations today and reintroduced the fault on both occasions. This was after a thorough cleanup. I've gone back to Winzip now and no problems. Strange, ain't it. Vista users be aware of Jzip. Thanks CyaBro & Speedy Gonzales. blanco. |

Why on earth would they change a system that worked so well in the first place? I wish I could just open the comp for full file sharing. It's not like I'm CIA or anything, although MS seems to think we all keep skeleton closets on our comps. Hopefully OS7 comes as a back to basics, logical OS. *sigh* |

People want security - so theres always a trade off. Did you manage to see / share the folders or do you need more instructions on making them visible over a LAN? |

| 638116 | 2008-02-11 22:41:00 | Not at home atm. I think I know how, it's just that explorer tends to crash when I try. Not very convenient. Sigh. | Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||
| 638117 | 2008-02-11 23:10:00 | No Need to go anywhere near explorer, you only share folders you want others to see / use, not the whole drive. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 638118 | 2008-02-11 23:13:00 | I was just trying to do it the easy way. I don't mind what others see, so I figured it was easy enough just to share the lot. Vista didn't like that too much though. So it's no a bug so much as me being over ambitious? Thanks. :) | Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||
