Hello,

I have a desktop running Windows XP Pro with my shared files and printers on it and a laptop running Windows Vista over a wifi network that I cannot get to access the desktop files or printers. The windows xp desktop is able to see my laptop running Vista's shared files/folders and printers. How do I get my laptop running vista to see my main printers and files on the desktop running Win XP? I installed the LLP network protocol on my xp desktop and still am not able to see my desktop computer on the network from my vista laptop. Please help, thanks.

Configuration: Windows Vista
Safari 525.19

Hi there,
Driver to what? The printer? That doesn't solve the problem of file sharing though. Anything on that? Thanks for your help.
