Vista is on WAN, but cannot find/share files

Did you ever check the Windows XP machine that you have the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol installed on the machine. You can download the Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder from the Microsoft website

Hey BD- good to see you back

Yes, I installed the LLTD yesterday.

Is this thread in the wrong forum perhaps?

honestly I would start a new thread because this one is so long, thanks to me, people are not going to want to read through everything we just tried.

And I would change the title to 'Vista computer cannot share files with XP computer on home network'

With that being said I did find a great site with lots of information for you

Thanks BD, I do appreciate your help. I'll take a look at that link, and post another thread later.

Thanks again
