Networking Issues

alpha33385 · 10-09-2007, 02:20 AM

Ok, so I've got a pretty unique computer set-up. I've got a Vista Ultimate (32-bit) computer that connects through the internet via a laptop running XP Home (e.g. Vista Computer --> Gigabit Ethernet --> XP Home Laptop --> Wireless Network). I've created a network bridge between the Ethernet and the Wireless Connections to allow the Vista Computer to use the internet. However, I have been unable to get either computer to be able to access each other. The XP Computer is able to see the Vista Computer, but cant access any files. They're both on the same workgroup (Mshome) and I've got File-sharing enabled on both computers. Any ideas why these two computers wont talk with each other?

Hey friend may be some properties mismatches so thats why these two are not responding..you have to check each any every thing carefully..because the vista and xp may have different features from each other and also have different setting..
