You're welcome. That's helpful information. Since you can ping the XPS
by IP, it sounds like a likely name resolution problem. I suggest next you
open a command prompt and run this start \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is the
IP address of XPS. Please report the result. It should either open a
window showing it's shares or report an error. Please post the result
including any error code.

If that does access the shares, I suggest you enable Net BIOS over TCP/IP on
all the machines (in the TCP properties of the connection) and then retry by
name.

Addendum - You may need to use an elevated command prompt for the start
start \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx command. Also, BTW, there is a way to rebuild the
TCP stack in Vista (several actually) but I think it's premature. Please
try these items first and we'll pick it up from there.

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Actually, I know netbios is enabled by default on this machine (vista).
And, I'm pretty sure it's on the XPS's too...

The thing is, this worked when I first installed Vista... So, it's not my
network settings on my desktops, it's the settings on my laptop. I could
install Vista on a separate partition, and see (it probably will) if it'll
detect my XPS. It usually does.

I ran CMD as an administrator, same result.

What to do now?

I'm saying, this is not my settings on my desktops. Because my friends Vista
computer can access it fine...

That's a very peculiar error. Try running the following command in an
elevated command prompt and rebooting. This rebuilds the TCP stack. The
last part (iplog.txt) is optional - it creates a log of actions taken.
netsh int ip reset iplog.txt

Oops - I see you type the comand incorrectly - you left out start. That
would cause the error you saw. It should be

Actually, I done that before. Does nothing for me. It isn't fixed.

Yeah, it's some weird error, isn't it?

I don't know what to do...

No sources online helped me. So, I think I'm stuck with it.
