Hi All, I have a small wireless network. 1 PC running XP Pro 1 PC running Vista Pre Both access the internet via the same wireless router From the XP Pro PC under Network connection, I can see the Vista PC (however cannot access it, I'm guessing I have not setup premissions yet for that) However from the vista PC, I cannot even see the XP PC. I can ping, but nothing shows in netowk
Ideas?

the patch is not a solution to any network problems it purely allows vista network map to see and display Xp Machines
