Internets are working fine. How else would I be posting? :p
The problem was making the new laptop work on our network, with Vista. |

Actually, it was the stupid ing Norton software that the computer place installed.
Edit: Lol, I love your avatar :haha: |
Before reading this my thought was a permission issue. Norton is anal about denial IP's that are out of range. Did you just go into the deny/accept list and add the specific IP that each computer is at
(192.168.0.101 or 192.168.0.104 etc)?
That is all I did to get Vista Ultimate (I assume home is the same) to see a networked XP computer |

Nod32 is a good one, never heard of blackice. You also might want to try Kaspersky |

| I installed Vista on my new computer and everything just worked. It found the 2 other XP computers right away. I'm not even in the same workgroup. |

| Vista sucks, I use it only because I am too lazy to reinstall XP - it involves me backing up all my crap. Hardware firewalls are apparently all the rave, but I use zone alarm. I know people are going to blast me because its a resource hog, I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as norton or mcaffee. Plus it's got a virus scanner, pop up blocker, firewall, etc, all in one nice little program that runs in the background. |

i'm graduating next summer as a software engineer and i haven't tried vista even once yet.
i think that single fact might qualify me as incompetent. |
