Need Help

**smithster** · 03-09-08, 08:30 PM

Ok, I'm in some serious need of help.

I have my main computer running XP.
I have it connected to a Billion Wireless Router and modem
I have a NAS connected to one port of the router
I have 2 laptops. 1 running Vista Home Premium and 1 running Vista Business.
Both lappy's are connecting via wireless.

I'm trying to setup the network share on the Vista Business lappy however in the network sharing neither my PC or my NAS are showing up. I can ping the NAS fine. The Vista Home lappy shows up.

The PC NAS and Vista Business showup fine in the Network Sharing on the Vista Home lappy.

What the hell is stopping the Vista Business lappy from seeing the PC and NAS?

Have you got any firewalls running on either the router or your laptop?

Network discovery turned on?
Agree it does sound more like firewall though.

Able to ping those machines from the Vista Business laptop?

Sorted guys. For some reason the Client for Microsoft Networks wasn't installed.

cheers
