Unable to show the XP on Vista computer and a few other networking issues

Hello

I tried to get my network set in place over the past two days without success.  The details of the network are:

Main computer is under XP Professional SP3 with the printer and the router connected to it.  I also have a laptop running Vista professional that connect wirelessly to the router.  I am able to ping the desktop from the laptop, but not vice versa.  Both computers have the same subnet and default gateway address.  By reading some troubleshooting, it was advised to run the microsoft patch to install the LLTD Responder on the xp machine I did.  I can see the files in the subfolders, but when I run services.msc program is not for me to start.    Desktop and laptop computer are in the same workgroup.  Before you install the hotfix, I could see the laptop from the network to the desktop but now I can't.  I also noticed that even if I have the LLTD my laptop configured to start automatically, it is not this.  In fact, it seems to stop automatically, and I have to restart the service.

I also try to put in place so that I can print from my laptop and my ipad sharing printer.  The printer and the desktop are set to share printers, but I can't find it on the laptop.  I'm assuming that once I see the desktop on the network it 'may' reslove this problem.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to solve the problem?  I can always connect all computers to the internet. I also see the two computers on the network when I run the network configuration in norton 360.

Thank you very much

Emily

N ° if it never works, then a firewall is not your problem.  Remember that Microsoft Networking can take up to 15 minutes to find a new devices on the network.  If it does not appear and you want to speed up the process a bit, try to search for the computer...

Start-> Search-> [for files & folders (the classic case)]
then, down in the section 'Search other elements', select 'computers '.
Enter the name of the other computer, and then click "search now".

This launches a pretty aggressive search for the other computer.
