Got new Lenovo tablet with Vista business on it. I can't see any other
computers on the network. Exhaused Lenovo supprort and all Microsoft helps
that I can find.
Things I have tried:
Activated file sharing (and everything else in the networking screen)
Activated file sharing in Vista's devise manager.
Shared my document file:
Turn off firewalls on all machines and rebooted
Went to firewall and opened all ports.
Opened second non-administrator user account.
Checked that workgroup is "Private", not "Public"
Set up public folder and put something in it. still not seen from other
machines.
Called Lenovo and asked them to return the machine as defective. (They
didn't bite)
Interestinly I can access the internet, and I can print to a printer on the
XP machine, but I can't see any other machines or share anything.
I just can't understand how accessing a simple home network could be SOOO
hard!
