Lexmark 4270 Vista Drivers
I have 2 PC's. A desktop running windows XP SP2 32-bit and a Laptop Toshiba,
x305 series. I have set up a network with a Lynksys WRT610N. Great router.
So, the network shows up fine. Can access folders. But attempting to print
has all but driven me insane. I know that I need drivers for each of the
comps, but when I try to connect to the printer from my Vista PC, I gat

network workgroup name not accessible AGAIN
A couple of months ago, my workgroup name used for many years (let's call it
ABC) stopped working. I could access my networked computers by using their
paths \\mylaptop\downloads but not their network name. I rebooted but it did
not help.
So I changed the workgroup name to ABC2 and it worked for 2 months up to
today at 4 PM, when workgroup names were last used to share some files.

Sporadic connection
Hi,
I'm on Vista with a wireless connection. Up until recently, every once
in a while when I booted up I'd fail to get connected to the network -
rebooting would solve this most of the time.
Now, rebooting doesn't solve it, but at some random point during the
day (anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours), I will mysteriously
connect. This happens whether or not I'm actually at the compu...

Sharing between Vista & XP & XP
This is almost like another post with the problem, but with a strange
twist. I have resurrected an old Win2K machine and upgraded it to XP
Pro. When all the updating and whatnot was done, I created two folders
- one on each drive (C and D) called 'Public_C' and 'Public_D'.
I do this so I can pass items back and forth directly to storage drives
on different computers. My problem is th...

Aargh - accessing Vista share from XP??
I'm getting really frustrated trying to access a Vista share from XP. Now,

1) I CAN access a share on the XP Pro share from the Vista Home Premium machine.
2) I CAN access a Public share on Vista with no problem.
3) I CAN access a share on Vista that has Everyone permissions.
4) I CANNOT access an administrative shar...

someone advise me of the correct group to use?

Sometimes local network fileshares not detected
Sometimes my Vista machine shows absolutely nothing when I click on
Networks. I can see the Vista machine from my XP machine, but I cannot see
either the Vista or the XP from the Vista. Only cure I have found is to
reboot the Netgear (firewall) router, then reboot the Vista machine. Have
never been able to catchech it at the cusp, so have no idea why it gets in a

I've done considerable research and have insured that I am in compliance
with the MS article "File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista", but when I
use a Save As dialog on my XP machine to save a file to the Vista machine I
get the message "You do not have access to the folder xxxxxxx. See your
administrator for access to the folder." This is a simple P2P home network.

I have a machine that has 2 user accounts on it. (user 1 and user 2)
Both are members of the administrators group because I want both users

I removed all inherited permissions, and made "user 1" the owner of the

No matter what I do I can not seem to get vista to keep the private network

After it cant find one in public, I can change it to private and eventually
