[tasneem]

Hi
I have trouble connecting to my kids laptop(windows Vista) and my laptop(windows XP prof). I can connect both the laptops to my desktop(windows server), but only the laptops I cannot connect. I have wireless network.
Thanks

A few helpful links with info ..

Sharing between computers can be tricky. Especially different OS's as security is different and a few network settings may need to be altered either on the computers or the router itself. Be aware that vista is a very poor OS and driver support isnt great and there are still alot of bugs to be ironed out that hopefully will be when service pack 1 comes out. Anyway a few links below starting from basic going to advanced helping you to troubleshoot and correctly set up home networks. You might find the info in there helpful and if not then people know what else to suggest because at the moment it could possibly be alot of things, hope this helps.

Hi
Today, the kids laptop doesn't connect to any of my home network computers. The network and workgroup are all correct.
Thanks
