Vista Home Basic

Here is my problem. I recently aquired a second laptop with Vista Home
Basic installed. The other laptop has Vista Home Premium installed and is
sharing a printer that is connected to my Desktop that has Windows XP
installed. I cannot get the laptop with Home Basic to network with the XP.
XP does not show in Network Sharing, on the Home Basic, however, the XP
appears on the Full Map in Network Sharing but cannot be access. Any
suggestions as to why Home Basic will not share my printer?

Thanks
CJ

Start by checking all personal firewalls, and the NetBT setting, on all
computers.

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

Chuck thanks so much for your reply. It was the Personal Firewall in Norton
that had to be changed. The other laptop has McAfee installed and no
adjustments were made in order to share my printer, obviously the default
settings are different.
Thanks,
C J

Thanks for the feedback, C J. Personal firewalls are the most frequent cause of
this problem.
