Getting three PC's (two XP and a vista) to see each other on netwo
I have all three machines hooked up without issue, they can all get to the
internet, except that the Vista computer (Home premium) will not see the
other two machines. They are all on the same workgroup, running through the
same router. The two XP machines can see each other without issue, but when
you do a network search on the VISTA box, it only finds itself, the router,
and a 'windows media connect' version of one of the two boxes.

It will not find folders that have been shared.

I've tried turning the firewall off, creating a completely new workgroup and
adding all three to that, nothing makes the vista box see the other two.
Simple file sharing is turned on, though I'm not sure that matters. So is
Network Discovery.

I'd start by looking at all personal firewalls, and the NetBT setting, on all
computers, and make NetBT Consistent.

And check restrictanonymous.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ur-server.html

Then look at logs from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
