I am a brand new user of Vista and certainly not an "expert" on the
system. Nor am I in any way connected to "Network Magic". That said,
here is what happened to me.
Two computers running XP, one wired through a router to the internet
and one wireless. Both worked fine. Bought new laptop with Vista.
Could not get Vista and XP machines to file or printer share. Had
already added LLTD to the XP machine; still wouldn't work
(

Computer store owner no help; says that it's almost impossible to get
the two systems to work together. Started reading old messages in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general and found one from last Nov.
that mentioned "Network Magic". Program has free 7 day trial so I
tried it. Within five minutes it had diagnosed that Window Internet
Connection Sharing had to be turned of in Vista; did it, and had me
sharing files and a printer.
So, if your are having problems, give it a try. It's free, it works
and you don't need to keep it installed after you get set up.
