I have 4 computers, (two wired & two wireless), all on the same network, same workgroup, etc. They can't see eachother and I can't share files or printers. Even with all firewalls off. 3 are running XP, 1 is Vista. Ideas? Solutions? Links? Thanks

Considering computers don't have eyes, I'm not surprised they can't "see" each other :-P Perhaps you should start by looking at (or posting http://geek860.pastebin.com the output and comment on this response so I know to check) the output from these commands on each system. START>RUN>CMD [enter] ipconfig /all [enter] From there you can tell if they SHOULD be able to communicate and then you can worry about whether they can with a command like: ping <IP> If all that goes well, then you should check if you are sharing the files you want the other systems to be able to access. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-share-a-folder-the-xp-way-in-windows-vista/
