Can't access my computer vista laptop to network!
I have a network home, defined as follows: Vista desktop connected to the Linksys WRT54G V2 router by ethernet. Windows 7 laptop connected through WIFI; Windows XP connected by WIFI. I'm trying to share desktop with other computers printer. I can access the files on two laptops in my office, but I can't access the desktop of a laptop. If I map network one laptop computers, he said that the office is there, but it won't let me access it. The map shows a switch between the Vista desktop and the routher which I do not know what it is. I followed all of the ideas that I can find to make sure that the permissions are correct. Anyone have any ideas?
Hello
· What security software do you use?
Ensure that the file and printer sharing are allowed through the firewall.
Check that network Vista share options are correct:
File sharing: on
Printer sharing: on
Password protected sharing: Off
I suggest you follow the steps mentioned in the articles below.
Share a printer

Select the file and printer sharing

Its depends on your email program. If you are using software such as Microsoft Office Outlook e-mail, then when you have received a new email it will notify you.
For webamil, you could connect to your email address, and then drag the window and PIN to the taskbar to alert you to new e-mail.

Cannot access the drives on my pc through my computer vista laptop windows 7
I'm trying to network my vista pc and my laptop win 7. See the vista pc and have access to all files and drives on my laptop win 7. But my laptop win 7 can't access the drives (I have 2) on my vista pc. The win 7 see the vista on my network pc. I can access the vista computer, I can see readers, but access is denied to 'no permission, contact your administrator. " The public record access very well, but not the 'c' and 'n' readers. "N" is an extra internal drive, which I added.
I double checked that the readers are shared, said permission to everyone, even turn off the password just in case.
I have read another view and tried everything that seems near, please help.
I am also able to connect to my vista through Windows Media Player media files. Just not able to access my files in the readers.
In Vista, go to start / network / network and sharing Center and make sure network sharing, file sharing, sharing protected by password and share multimedia files are all checked.
If this isn't the problem, please repost your question in the Forums of Windows7 (that you are able to access Vista and not of Windows7 is a Windows7 problem - although it probably involves some changes in Vista as well) to: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 where people who specialize in issues of Windows7 will be more than happy to help you with your problem.
