Re: Network Problem
Try opening your XP style network settings for an easier look around -http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.p...xpstylenetwork
Check that IPv6 and all the irrelevant protocols aren't checked, and make
sure the IPv4 settings are correct, including the DNS entries. Are you on a
workgroup or a domain?

Re: Network Problem
I'm on a workgroup... It it supposed to be set up automatically (as inobtaining the ip address, and the dns & DHCP servers...) So I have no
clue as to what has happened.

Network problem
I have a local network set up at home I have now setup vista RC1 on a secondPc
everything works well and both pc's can be seen on the network
However when trying to browse the contents on the other pc's it asks for a
password how can I disable this so that the pc's can be freely accessed from
eachother ?
neither of the pc's have a logon password and I don't want to assign a logon
password for then
I just want to freely have network access from one to the other

Re: Network problem
Is the Vista in the same workgroup as the other PC's? Also, make sure thefollowing are turned on under Network and Sharing Center:
Network discovery
File sharing
Public folder sharing
Password protected sharing
