The Laptop is running Vista SP1 and the Desktop is running XP SP3. The network is setup and I can access the Printer, connect to the Internet and see some files on the XP Machine. However when viewing the network on the Vista machine it shows the XP machine as a Media Server. Also when I go to My Network Places on the XP machine it shows the XP Machine as on the Local Network, however it shows the Vista Machine as on the Internet. Is that normal? Any suggestions as to what I should do. Thanks in advance.<P>P.S. As you can see from my question this is my first experience in setting up a network.</P><P>LTKSun, 08 Jun 2008 07:44:29 GMTLuvthekeys
