Hi Friends,
I just got my new HP 6710b with Vista Business preinstalled.
I already have another pc with Win-XP home running on it.
I tried a few things but cant get through to connect the two systems
into a single network.
In the forums I found that I need a patch for XP and I installed that
as well. But no avail. Neither system can see each other.
However, in the run window of vista, a ping to the other system can
see the box. However, the xp machine can not ping the vista system.
I have already tried the following...
1. I changed the workgroup names to one (wrkgrp_home) and then the
computers could detect each other in network map / search computers
(XP).
2. I switched on the File and printer sharing as an exception on
Windows firewall on both systems.
3. My network location was Public earlier, I changed that to Private
now.
Due to one of these changes, the vista machine which could ping the
xp
machine earlier, cant ping it anymore.
Help please...
regards
