I have been struggling with a Vista & XP workgroup problem.
Seem one Vista (Ultimate) workstation cannot access any file shares or
printers on 4 XP pro workstations. The XP workstations can access
Users and Public on the Vista Workstation.
Last weekend I removed all firewalls without any improvement. I
installed LLTD on the XP workstations and reran the XP network wizard.
Still no joy... However, the vista workstation, can generate a
detailed network map of the network, showing the XP workstations,
swith, internet gateway, etc.
This morning I had a brainstorm and tried to execute a NET VIEW in the
command window and received the message " Service is not started", or
something to that effect.
This sounds like I have zero'd in on the problem. What services
should be running in a home, P2P networking environment? Why would
they not be started or even listed in the services control panel. What
steps need to be taken to correct the problem?
