Home networking

I currently have a router with 2 XP PCs connected running on a simple home
network. I've connected a new computer running Vista to the router and it
gets to the internet just fine. I cannot find where I can connect the new
Vista computer to the home network. In XP, there is a very obvious home
network link that starts the wizard, but I can't find the comparable link in
Vista. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I only want to
add the new Vista PC to my home network so it can access shared files and
printers. Thank you very much for your help.

I am having the similar problem, only I have a new laptop with Vista, and 5
other XP PC's on a workgroup. I have no idea why none of the computers will
recognize, the only thing I can imagine is that there is some simple little
fix that we need to do and the whole thing starts working fine. I would try
going to circuitcity or bestbuy, and asking them, they tend to offer free
advice.

hope i could help

This does get to be frustrating. I have XP and Vista at home. My XP can
easily see VISTA but vista cannot see XP computers. I am finding in XP it is
easy to configure a home network but in Vista it is a bit more difficult or
at least not straight forward as previous OS. Can anyone help?

Hi

Same answer for all of you

http://www.networkmagic.com/

will do the trick i suspect

other enemy could also be third party firewalls
most of which have had to be deleted entirely from computers

just disable wont help as it will still run in background
if you scroll down messages looking for one from Kim[MS]
there is a url to take you to a list of firewalls which are ok
if you are not on the list it looks like a delete job

cheers for now
