My Vista laptop has no problem seeing the XP boxes on my network. WTF is up with that? I’m sure they know they need to be plugged in.

Although, Vista is responsible for my gout and low sperm count.

google is your friend

Networking vista

this article gives a good discription. I will give a few tips convert xp to ntfs, it should already be but I have seen a few xp installs that were not, ntfs is better IMO and they give you some warnings about converting , I have done this to several pc's, it works. Make sure you have an administrator account on all pc's with the same password or put a user on all with the same password. XP home has a hidden admin log in to it in safe mode chances are the "administrator" user's password is blank, change it. make sure sharing is enable on the folders.
