Did you check to see if the firewall is on, for the Vista PC?

by clarkd038

Do you have network sharing and discovery option turned on in?

Also I have seen where it is an older router and the router will not route the packets from vista.

Let me know

thanks for your message. however i wish to inform you that the network sharing turned on and i have tried to use a ddiffrent switch but all these have failed.

thanks,

Simon

yes the vista firewall is on. and let me inform you that, initially it was working ok and suddenly it started to fail. i do'nt know wether the user did something to the configurations or not, am not sure.or is it because the domain controller has windows 2000 server operating system.

thanks,

simon
