I am a brand new user of Vista and certainly not an "expert" on the
system. Nor am I in any way connected to "Network Magic". That said,
here is what happened to me.

Two computers running XP, one wired through a router to the internet
and one wireless. Both worked fine. Bought new laptop with Vista.
Could not get Vista and XP machines to file or printer share.
Computer store owner no help; says that it's almost impossible to get
the two systems to work together. Started reading old messages in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general and found one from last Nov.
that mentioned "Network Magic". Program has free 7 day trial so I
tried it. Within five minutes it had diagnosed that Window Internet
Connection Sharing had to be turned of in Vista, did it and had me
sharing files and a printer.

So, if your are having problems, give it a try. It's free, it works
and you don't need to keep it installed after you get set up.

My bad! I left that out of my narative. I had already done that but
still could not share when I found the below mention of Network Magic
..
 
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THIS POST. I downloaded Network
Magic and installed it and within five minutes of downloading it had resolved
whatever problem I had and I finally had access to my network computers.
Again, many thanks.

The Computer store Owner is a complet moron then.

I've set up plenty of systems lately, all with various versions of O.S.'s
running (mix -n-match of NT 4.0, Win2k PRO & Server, Win Server 2k3 and Win
Server 2k8 (RC1) and have absolutely ZERO (0) problems networking them
together, either in a domain or simply in a PEER workgroup.

And I DID NOT have to resort to any 3rd party software to get it done.
