[~Reboot~]

My wife recently bought a new computer that has vista home premium, I've never messed with vista and I cannot get my windows 2000 sp4 computer and hers to recognize each other on our network. They have the same workgroup and vista has the descoverable option on. Any suggetions?

I have installed on the 2k QoS Packet Scheduler, NetBEUI, File+Printer sharing of course, NWLink NetBIOS, NWLink IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP.

Not sure how or if I can see installed protocol in Vista....

Alright after a bit of fooling around I found where the installed drivers/ internet connections were on Vista....

The Vista computer has QoS Packet Scheduler, File + Printer Sharing, TCP/IPv4 + 6, Discovery Mapper I/O Driver, Discovery Responder.

Still haven't got either computer to recognize the other on the network.

Hello,
I have a fix for XP and Vista, I think that it may be the same for 2K.

How to get Vista to network with XP

Click Start, and then click Network. (Or you can click Start, type ncpa.cpl into the search box, and press ENTER).
2. Click on the Network and Sharing Center, and then click Manage Network Connections.
3. Right click on the Local Area Connection or the connection you are using.
4. Select the Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
5. Click the Advanced button under the General tab.
6. Click the WINS tab.
7. Click the Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP button.
8. Click Ok.
