MessageHave been struggling all day with printing from vista to printer on xp box and getting access denied message. On MS forums found a reply made by yourself on same issue. The solution around creating a local port on the Vista pc worked just fine....can get some sleep right now. Thanks very much.

MessageI read your advice re Vista vs Win98 networking. Two comments;
Yes, technology advances, and it is not reasonable for Microsoft to have to maintain a ten year old operating system in perpetuity. But every "new" op system is so bulky that it is not possible to upgrade NOTEBOOKS. Unlike large boxes, they have severe limitations. But my Thinkpad 240X's work fabulously, except for the needless "fixes" to stuff which ain't broke, while the stuff which is continues to be repaired by forcing US to have to tell it that "it's OK" to do every stupid little thing.

I can still buy parts for a Model T, to say nothing of my Porsches. See comments above. Forcing me to have to go find out how to let my Win98 machines not crash every time they look at my ONLY Vista (which I would have refused had I know it was not the only choice, by the way!) while the Vista machine sees the Win98 OK, instead of telling me about the differences up front is an insult to their customer base. The EU was right to hammer them hard. That the USJD didn't is a shame, because this is arrogant. And, by the way, the Vista will not properly indicate when it actually connects to network resources if it has been Hibernated (excuse me - they HAD to call it another name; Sleep, JUST to confuse us!)

I have spent way too much time re-learning what I already knew since Win 3.1 to use this turkey. Now I will have to toss a hand grenade into Regedit and HOPE it works?!

MessageWonderful documentation. I now am pretty clear how the browser stuff works, but what happens in a workgroup only environment when you throw a wins server into the mix?

Does it make the browsers all irrelevant?

MessageDesktop, while fully accessible from the wireless laptop, lists the laptop only under Entire Network (but not Newwork Places) and cannot open the files it sees listed in Entire Network. Patience, patience. It's only been like this for 6 months, having worked earlier. Maybe the problem is the changes made when we made a lot of changes to make the router/gateway work consistently.

I'm running and comparing config, etc. Concerned that "Unable to enumerate wfw servers. Error: The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available." BOTH PC's show the same message.

MessageMy handle on Broadbandreports/DSLReports.com is Dragon Flyer, which is where we met. It's October, 2007 and you're kindly assisting me in setting up my home network. My home network has been set up twice previously by Best Buy Geek Squad but I don't get the chance to write down what they're doing or I'd be able to do this myself.

My home network internet connection to RoadRunner ethernet is via a Linksys WRT54G with my primary PC, white box desktop, attached a port in the WRT54G which also gives a wireless connection to a IBM T42p. At some point I removed the Linksys WPS54G Print Server and am trying to add it back. I use Norton Internet Security 2008, and the Network Map feature isn't showing the equipment and IP addresses correctly.

I've forgotten the password to access the WPS54G print server which is needed to add the Print Server back plus change the IP address. I've looked at & tried every password I can find on previous network set-up documents for the WPS password but no of them work. Have also tried unplugging the PS & holding the "reset" button for 10 seconds which is supposed to reset the Print Server to factory settings & password but for some reason that doesn't work either.

Something I noticed when using RegEdit to locate the Print Server's possible password is that I have CurrentControlSet, ControlSet001 & ControlSet002. Read that the CurrentControlSet is the one Windows XP Pro., Svc. Pk. 2 is using but am leary of deleting the others. HELP PLEASE!
