wireless network with vista and xpi have an xp home machine and a vista laptop and am having problems sharing
files. the laptop sees my wireless network and can access the net. I have shared a folder on the xp machine but cannot map to it on the laptop. could it be a windows firewall or norton firewall problem? any ideas please? Hi
Running two software Firewall is a No No. So as a first step decide on one Firewall and disable or and get rid of the other. However, even one Firewall if Not configured correctly can block File Sharing, How I set my software Firewall to allow free traffic between my Network’s computers. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted Otherwise, successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

I can see all computers on
the wireless network from both sides (vista laptop and xp desktop). I can fully access my vista laptops, essentially doing anything I want. However, even though I can see my xp desktop, I always get an access/ no permission error message when I try to access the machine. I tried everything except hooking up paper cups to make it work. They include: 1. updating LLTD responder 2. Disabling all firewalls 3. Disabling Norton 4. Completely sharing drives and folders 5. Resetting my security permissions to default 6. Rename workgroup so all computers have the same name 7. Reset up my wireless network using the wizard 8. Used the network setup wizard. 9. Reconfigured my router. The funny thing is that six months ago it was working and it was a snap to set up. I installed a second slave HD and had Norton help me to access it and the next thing you know it is not working. But everything else seems fine. No viruses, no performance issues. I just cannot access XP destop from my vista laptop. Been working on this for a week and I have more websites / urls than you can bat an eye lash, so if someone can help...really appreciate it.

and redid trusted on Norton and now I can access XP. If Norton had something to do with it, I guess merely turning off the firewall and turning off autoprotect aren't good enough.
