Cannot Connect to File Shares on XP Pro Machine

Posted: 10-05-2006, 08:20 PM
I have XP Pro machines on my network and I cannot get Vista to see them let
alone connect to any of their file shares.

I've tried to connect via UNC and IP address. Neither work. I get the error
that the computer cannot be found on the network.

Now I can ping these PCs successfully via their IP -and- Computer Name, so
IP/Name resolution is working fine. I can also connect to them via RDP
(Remote Desktop) via IP and Computer Name. Only trying to connect for file &
printer sharing does not work.
