I have a 3 computer network all running Windows XP and a new computer running Vista - the Vista computer can talk to the other computers running XP but the ones running XP cannot talk to Vista - how can I correct this problem? All help will be greatly appreciated.

i had the same problem but i only had 2 computers running windows xp. the way i had to sor the problem out was by disconeecting of hte internet , so i could disable my firewall. i then had to go through the vista networking centre. i had to make a lot of changes to workgroups and discoverable settings. i have now setup my network but the only problem i have is that i cannot share an internet connection.all other stuff includings Windows media file sharing and file sharing " shared document" now works. the only way i can connect through my other pcs is by creating a resedatial gateway, however this does not seem to always work.

do you mean that you cant see the printer through the network . i have just shared my printer. altohugh the only way i can see the printer on other pcs is by exploring he workgroup pcs.
