I have 2 laptops with vista ultimate. When i login on 1 laptop .. i can access my home directory and can add printers(network) ..
The other laptop (different machine but set up straight out of the box) I can see the home drive and network printers but can't save files or add network printers ... it says home drive isn't there and drivers for that printer don't exist ??

hello,
check the network between two laptops & then check their workgroup when you setup for workgroup network please select the option turn on files & printer sharing.

These laptops are on a domain and both are logging on to that domain .... file and print sharing is on on both laptops .... re formatted the laptop again from scratch and still can't save files to their home directory, on the server, of the person who logs on .....
