XP Home & Vista Network

Funkiwi75 · 2007-10-14 16:48:56

Hi, I have a home network and have been able to get the XP Pro computers to see my Vista Ultimate PC but I can't get the XP Home laptop to see it. Vista sees it, I have applied the XP Patch to it and still dosn't want to see Vista :( Hope someone knows the answer.

Are you trying to access it by IP address? Are they both in the same workgroup?
