    problems vista 64 and xp
    « on: September 17, 2009, 11:22:46 AM »
    Hey all, i set up a network, 1 comp running vista 64 bit, other xp sp3. They are sharing internet connection, but i cant see the shared folder on vista machine, i shared my documents on the xp, but not showing up on vista.
    I already made sure they have the same workgroup name, simple file sharing is enabled on vista machine. turned off windows firewall on both, both use avg antivirus.
    What else can i try, i have done this once before and it worked, not sure what im missing.
    thanks.

      Can you ping each computer?

          simple question but have you restarted the systems after joining to the work group? Also are you logging in with an account that has admin access to both systems?
