If you have solved your problem by following the suggestions from Scott Brad UK etc. or if you are not using Norton Internet Security, ignore my message. Otherwise, read the following that I just learned from a tip on Techtricks.co.in and verified to be the solution for my networking problem similar to yours. On the Vista computer, go to Network and Sharing Center and set Network Discovery to "ON" so it will at least show all network computers despite no access. Open Norton and go to the Network Security Map. Do setup for "Remote Monitoring" and check the "Trust Level" of the other computer to see if it has been set to the default "Protected". If so, change it to "Full Trust". That should solve the inaccessibility problem without disabling the Norton firewall. Do the same on the XP computer ("Shared" to "Full Trust"). Follow typical procedures for file sharing and printer sharing. You might have to install an XP version of the printer driver on the XP laptop for the network printer probably already having a Vista driver installed on the Vista desktop in order to print the XP file through the Vista network printer. If it were something other than Norton, you might want to re-examine its firewall setup. Hope this helps.
Forgot to tell you that the ip address are no ip's they are the computers on your network first might be you pc and number 2 may be you laptop which ever got on the net first. The pc3 will be number three if you use a wireless router for it to get on the internet.

Hey all
Just had/solved this problem for PCs (2 vista laptops and 1 XP tower) am yet to try to connect the PS3 so I'll update you on that...
first step, disconnect the broadband from the router (for your safety)
then, make sure all the computers are in the same workgroup (plenty of literature on the net for this... get this before you disconnect the internet ;P)
restart the machines
next step... make sure all machines are on and turn off the firewalls on each of them.
on the vista machines, turn on network discovery and file sharing etc in the network and sharing centre window.
on the xp machine, this is default on I believe.
On one machine (Vista) open 'manage network connections' from the network and sharing centre', right click on wireless -> properties, under the networking tab go to the properties of 'client for microsoft networks' and change the Name service provider to microsoft locator (This should already be the case on the XP machine aswell but best check).
If you open the network window (workgroup computers in xp) you should be able to see the machines. I think that XP needs SP2 or more to communicate with vista but hopefully I'm wrong.
try the old restart of the machines trick again if it's not working, then when it is turn on all the firewalls again, obviously if it asks something needs access to a computer it's on your network, ie another machine (it is wise to be 100% sure of no viruses on you machines) so allow, once all that is done connect the internet and it should work. woohoo

Hi first you have to change to a work group . Type in google change work group and you sould be ok.
Then if you are using a router with a firewall then turn off (windows firewall or any other firewalls on your pc's ) you will then see both pc & laptop and printer this is the most common thing.
With ref to ps3 you need to open window media player in sharing tick the box move all your movies and music files in to your ( public folders ) on your computer as it can only see them and stream them to your ps3.
If you right click a file you will see share tick this and it,s shared whith anyone on you network and your other computer.
Just be aware that when you restart your computers the firewall will come back on in some programs such as norton 360 2.0 or lower so you need to turn it back off.
Hope this has helped.

Hello My name is Mike and I just set up a system with Vista for a friend and and a new printer. i also set up his router for the Wifi. That all works well with his Sony laptop with XP. I have tried to get his laptop to be able to use his printer and I am lost. I set up the MSHOME for his desktop and the and the laplop aready has the same. What can I do to have his laptop with XP operate his printer with his desktop with vista. I am lost.

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
I found that I had to disable Norton firewall on both my Vista laptop and Vista desktop, but leave on Windows firewall on each, in order for them to see each other and for my laptop to access my deskjet, which is hosted by my desktop. Having both Norton and Windows on prevented reconnecting. Even having Norton's on but Windows' off didn't work.

3 hours of pain sorted in 30 seconds.
