Can't display Vista Network

1 New Member
After restoring our Dell Vista system, and rebuilding the environment -- started having network issues -- couldn't connect to 1 or more of the other PC's in our home network, etc.

Now when I do a <START> <NETWORK> I get just the frame of the NETWORK window and it just sits there, never completes the display in the window.,

This PC can access one of the other 2 PC's; the PC which it cannot access CAN access it (ping, map network drive); strange?

Is there a way to completely reinitialize the Vista Network environment?

Thanks!

Try start->run "services.m sc" and ensure the "Computer Browser" and "DHCP Client" services are started.

Another thing you should try to right-click on the network icon in the task bar and choose "diagnose and repair". This will restart networking services, renew your ip address, etc. In vista it's usually pretty informative if it finds any errors.

Hi, I have a big problem with a Visual C++ 6.0 function that retrives the logical drives and types in the local system. This function works perfectly on Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP and 2003, but I have tested it on Windows Vista and it doesn't retrieve remote network drives. It must retrieve a string with the drive letters and a string with the drive types (2=removable drive, 3=hard drive, 4=remote drive, 5=CD-ROM drive, 6=RAM drive) I...

Hi, I have 2 PC on my home network. One pc is loaded with Windows XP Pro, the other is loaded with Vista Home. From my vista pc, I can see the XP pc. I can also tranfer files from my XP to my Vista PC. From my XP pc, when I go to MAP a Network drive, I see VISTA pc but I CANT see any of the shared drive (And they are shared on VISTA). So I CANT MAP my network drive. I have Norton Internet Security on VISTA.

I set up a home network by adding a Vista Laptop to a XPHome SP2 Desktop via a D-Link Router. The XP Desktop is connected via an ethernet cable and the Vista machine is wireless. In the early days of setting it up I got access to the internet on both machines, could share files on the XP from the Vista....

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?
