Network setup Vista

Posted: 06-24-2006, 08:55 AM
Since installing Vista I have been trying unsuccessfully to connect to my
home network.
My network consists of 3 desktops and one laptop. 3 machines run XP Home all
of these machines can be seen by each other but they cannot see or be seen by
the machine running Vista.

My networking equipment is as follows Belkin F5D7633 wirless modem router 2x
Belkin F5D7000 network cards laptop has built in wifi. The vista machine used
to connect via a Belkin F5D7001 card but as this does not work in Vista it
is now hard wired.

I have mapped the network but only the vista machine shows up. All computers
that run XP can access each other adn the internet.

Is there a simple way of setting up a network using XP and Vista machines?

thank you in advance.

Offering no solution - however I have Vista/XP dual boot - Vista connects to
the network (wired) (as does XP) and did so initially without running
network setup wizard. Keep "hunting"

Hi,
thanks for your response, I finally managed to get my network showing up on
all machines. Even the one running Vista. Still can't run wireless on Vista
though.
Thanks again

If I my ask, how did you get it running? Can you XP machines see the Vista
machine now?

We have a machine running vista that shows up on the network but no other
machines can connect to it. Can you explain what you did to fix this?

Shena,
In the Control Panel under "Network and Internet" click on "Share files and
folders".
Click the bottom radio button option in all three sections.
Then click save.
This will turn on Printer and File Sharing and allow full access to shared
folders on Vista from all PCs on your home network.
This will allow unprotected access to your Vista PC shares.
If you still want a username and password to be required or limit certain
file access choose the appropriate options.
The username and password you used when you installed Vista will work.

Hi,
sorry I took my time in getting back to you. Can't remember what I did at
the moment but as soon as I do I will post it for you.

Shena,
I went into the system and changed the name of my computer to what it was
prior to installing Vista. After doing that I made sure that my workgroup was
changed from workgroup to the same name as my network ie HOME. I enabled file
and printer sharing then ran the network setup wizard on the XP machines.
After rebooting all machines all computers showed up on the network and all
of them are accessible.

I hope that helped.

I seemed to have gotten it all to work, although i hadn't actually looked at
the shares on my vista machine until now. I may have done this myself,
clicking things and such, but does anyone else have the users folder shared
by default on thier vista machine? It was alittle disconcerting to see that
show up!
