But the other 2k3 machine (p4-28g) an the linux boxes do not show that they are connected.
Or your not running file an print sharing - or you have browsing disabled - for example I know there is a current issue with XP that if you have the built in firewall disabled it will turn off the computer browser service - so your machine would not register itself or maintain a browse list.Īs you can see here - I show 1 XP machine connected to the vista network in the full map, since I installed the LLDP responder on it. If not, then there is something blocking them from talking. If you click the view full map - you shoud see other devices on your network. Only to see the machines connected to your vista network map. Vista will not show XP machines "connected" to your network without the LLDP responder installedīut this is NOT REQUIRED for file sharing, or any other type of network connectivity - ie browsing. I would suggest turning them off for testing. you need to make sure they are enabled for file sharing. But if both wireless - could be the issue.Īlso - If running software firewalls/security software, etc. Normally this does not stop wireless from talking to wired. Quite often routers default/have an option called Client or AP isolation - which keeps wireless clients from talking to each other. Any ideas why? What firewalls are you running? Are these machines both WIRED to the router, or wireless? Going to Network in Vista is only showing my system ('MUSTARDPC') and not his.
