Hi, I have installed the LLTD Responder component on Windows XP but the problem is not resolved yet, Vista can find other xp computers by ip but not by name, and vice-versa, xp can resolve by ip but not by name. Anything else? thanks.

I have the same problem - new machine with Windows Vista Business
pre-installed. I have a small home network with 2 other machines (both
XP-Pro SP2) and all in the same workgroup.

Both of the xp machines can address each other using \\machinename but the
vista machine cannot. It sees the machine fine using \\192.168.1.xx but not
using netbios name. Netbios is fully enabled in Vista but nothing I do lets
it address the other machines by name.

Can anyone help?

I fixed it.

Finally tracked down the problem to the Symantec Norton Internet Security
which was pre-installed on the machine. I had previously tried using its
inbuilt "Disable" function but it seems this does not properly disable the
firewall. So I simply uninstalled it and all seems to be working again.

Thanks to all those who helped.

Have got Home Premium installed with 2 network cards, Internet (public) and
Local (private)

Browsing and network completely fine on my Internet connection, I stream
video and everything just fine.

On my Local Connection, everything used to work fine when I first installed
it but now I struggle with everything (possibly after some update?), my PC
sitting next to it, sometimes works sometimes doesn't, very intermittent, web
browsing the same, same with streaming, what figures?
Even tried upgrading the memory, no luck, rembooting makes no difference.

Any answers to this?
I've tried the two vista updates for performance and reliability, no change,
damn

Guys, I am also having the same problem. I did find a workaround in the
link Gloria posted that worked for me. So apparently the computers are
there and can be accessed. It seems to be a problem specifically with
the Network Window. Here's the workaround:
VIEWING SHARES WITHOUT THE NETWORK WINDOW
If the computer that you are trying to access for a shared folder or
printer does not appear in the *Network* window, you can try to view the
shares of the computer by clicking *Start*, typing *\\* * -ComputerName-
*, and then pressing *Enter*.
For example, to view the shares of the computer named BobPC, click
*Start*, type *\\bobpc*, and then press *Enter*.
