Update!
Figured it out.
In XP I had to change the Workgroup name to the same as Vista.
When I was in vista, I thought I had changed the setting to be the same as my XP machines, which were "MSHOME" at the time. But I hadn't changed the workgroup name in Vista....I don't have access to it at the moment, but I think I changed the domain to MSHOME and the workgroup wasn't changed.
Well, to anyone else that has a problem getting Vista to network with XP, make sure the WORKGROUP is the same on all computers.
I feel kinda stupid about it, but since I'm so new to Vista and the lay of the land, I was playing like I knew where I was, but in actuality was lost and just fumbling through the dark.
Well, I got a map and figured out where I made a left turn Clyde!
All is good now, printers and files are being shared once more! |
