I have a desktop running vista home basic with a dell a940 printer connected
to it
and shared. I have a laptop with vista home basic that I am trying to get to
the printer with. Networking is set up and I can connect to shared resources
on the laptop from the desktop. When I try to get to shared resources on the
desktop, I get an error that the laptop cannot connect to the pc. (network
path not found)I can ping the desktop and windows firewall and the symantec
firewall are both off. All of the network settings seem to be identical. I
even connected the laptop directly to the router and got the same result. Can
anyone shed some light on this? If it was up to me I would upgrade to XP and
be done with it. Unfortunately that is not an option. Any help would be
appreciated.
