Network between Vista and Xp "Tashaq" <tashaq_husain[ at ]yahoo.co.uk> 12/29/2008 5:43:57 PM Hi there Im trying to network a Vista Laptop with an Xp desktop. Though the desktop appears to be within the same network, when i try to open or access it from the Vista Laptop it says there is no connection. I am relatively new at this so any help would be appreciated - would be willing to set up the network again under guidance. Tashaq
