Network printer issues with XP and Vista

I have a new laptop that runs Vista that I have added to a home network of
two XP desktops. I can see the host desktop, the files and the printer on
the Vista laptop but I cannot access the printer.

Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Well, to start I just got Windows Vista a few months ago. It works great, but the trouble came when I decided to connect all of my computers - XP Home, XP Professional and Vista - to a home network. I have a broadband connection that connects into my wireless router, and the Vista connects, wired, through that router. My ethernet printer also connects through that router. I have 2 wireless computers, an XP Home and XP Professional, that connect...

I got the Vista & Xp machine on a wired network and I can access the Xp machine no problem. The trouble is Xp is looking for a Username & password to access the Vista machine. In the network and sharing center, If I select public folder sharing or Printer sharing, it says that a password is required. Where exactly does this password come from? I have no password on either machine. I de-selected public folder sharing and printer sharing...

If I disconnect the network cable between the two computers for 10 seconds and...

All of my computers were working fine with my network, 3 with XP, 1 with Vista, 1 Network HD and 1 network printer. Router is a D-Link DIR-655. I haven't changed anything but none of my XP computers can see the network and the Vista can, I get an error that the network is not accessible. I can still connect to the internet with all of the computers...Did Vista hijack my network? How do I fix this? Thank you for any help you can give me.

I've read several posts on the topic, but not found any answers. Her'esmy problem: Originally had two XP machines on home network (wired) called MSHOME. Worked dandy. Both pcs could access shared files on the other and both could use the printer on the primary. Replaced the primary (which has the printer) with Vista machine. Fired up the Vista and it claims to be on "Network2". Under network 2 are two workgroups: WORKGROUP which has...

I have a home network with 4 pc's on it. All 4 are connected to the Internet via a Linksys DI-604. 3 of the pc's are Windows XP Pro and 1 is Vista Business. The problem I am having is that while the Vista pc can see and pass data to and from the XP pc's, the XP's can't see or pass any data to the Vista pc. I have a USB laser printer hanging off the Vista pc that I would like to print to once in awhile. Note: The Vista pc used to be an XP pc...

I have two PCs running XP Pro, which are networked to a Vista Ultimate PC. The network works fine in both directions, but I am unable to print from the XP machines to my Canon Pixma MX700 printer, which is connected to the Vista PC via a local USB cable. Setting up the networking was problematic, but I finally got it working by setting up guest user accounts on all shared folders on the Vista PC. What do I need to do to network the printer?

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
