I have a Home Networking problem that is driving me crazy and I hope someone here can help.

My home network runs 3 machines, 2 on Vista Pro and 1 on XP Pro. The xp and the main Vista are hard wired and the second Vista is wireless.

All machines access the Internet with no problems and my main Vista machine can Remote Desktop each of the other 2.

My problem is that the secondary (wireless Vista) can not see my Main Vista for file sharing and my main vista can see neither of the other 2.

I have run the network wizard on all with no luck.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated

Well first, make sure all the computers are in the same domain name.

See if you can type the main computer's address in the address bar on windows.

Like my file server is named "Earth"

So I go to "my computer" and in the address bar I type \\earth and that will bring me to my file server which has all the shared files and what not.

Try that first.

you may also want to try using the ip-address instead of the computer name.

even try pinging the ip-addresses of the other computers to see if they can at least see each other.

Thank you for that. Yes by typing in the IP adress it workedand allowedme to map BUT it still will not show when I go back to Windows Explorer Network, and that confuses me.

is network discovery enabled for all of the computers?

Yes, that was one of the first things I checked

computer browser service?

netbios over TCPIP under your WINS tab?

i know those 2 are players as well.
