networking between two vista pcs

Posted: 06-07-2007, 06:32 AM
My husband and I have been trying to network between our two pcs...I am
running Vista Home Premium and he is running Vista Ultimate. We are running
from switch to router to pcs...and we are trying to file share. I can access
his computer just fine but all he can access on mine are my media sharing.
When he tries to access my pc it gives him an error. We are very frustrated
and help would be greatly appreciated. ~Jen

What error is displayed when your husband tries to access your Premium PC?

Neil,
When my husband tries to access my computer on the network he gets the error
"windows cannot access. check the spelling of the name. otherwise, there
might be a problem with your network." Cannot be the case though since he
can access my media sharing and I can access everything on his computer.

Jen,

This sounds like a name resolution issue, probably caused by NetBT (or lack of
it) or a personal firewall.

You could look at logs from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each
computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and
follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
