Put on your thinking caps everyone…
Here’s the scenario: Vista Ult. desktop (PC1), Vista Ult. desktop (PC2), Vista Prem. laptop, XP Pro laptop. Home network (Netgear ADSL modem/router). Set as “private” as far as Vista goes. Laptops are wireless, desktops are wired.
Ok, here’s who sees who:
XP laptop sees/accesses all but PC1.
PC2 “” “” “”
Vista laptop “” “”
PC1 cannot see XP laptop- but sees/accesses all else…This is the problem child of the group.
Have been through all the permissions/settings to verify that PC2, PC1, Vista laptop are exactly the same (they are).
No passwords, no firewalls, same group, etc…Same everything…We’re banging our heads against the wall, trying to locate an answer.
This is the error:
“PC1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied.”
As everything is the same on the 3 Vista machines, we just can’t imagine what else there is to change/edit? Been Googling non-stop and nothing found has been the answer (so far). It’s a small consolation that so many people have issues w/Vista & networking- but at least we’re not alone…just need a solution.
Ideas so very appreciated,
Tracy
