I recently clean installed Vista Premium and have a problem. I am unable to turn on Network Discovery. I am on a Private network. When I try, it acts as though it is going to turn on, but never does. I click ok, ok, ok, etc. It just never actually turns on. I would like to be able to share files between the computers on my network.

I can connect to the internet, just not turn on network discovery. Anyways I tried all that and none of it worked.

What other Windows (XP or?) computers are you networked with?

[smmalis]

Two XP. They both have LLTD protocol installed and I see them in the network map.

Have you run "Network Diagnostics"? ... I do understand what you're telling me, just trying to see what all you've done so far.

[smmalis]

Yep. It came up with nothing. I submitted it to Microsoft for the heck of it, still nothing.

Everything looks like this, except no green light in Network Discovery...

Have you been in "Services" to make sure nothing is disabled there?

I'm jumping ahead a bit, I know....this article is about XP and file sharing with Vista:

Everything worked ok with a vista laptop (not mine, but was on our network temporarily) as far as sharing went. That picture is just like what I see, except no green light and off instead of on. There are no services disabled.

I have the same problem.
I'll be watching this.
I have a Compaq and will call them soon.
