BT Home Hub Home network, Can anyone help i'm trying to view another computers files via the ho

when i go in to the hub manager all the computers are there but when i try to access the computers via the network my computer just doesn't seem to be able to see or access the XP computer via the network. Both computers have the same network name but don't seem to be able to locate each other. The computer i'm using is vista. I've turned off all the firewalls to see if its that and to no avail. Does any one know if i need to add the computers in application sharing via the home hub manager and if so as what?

Add Information: the computer i'm using to access the old machine is vista and in the network and sharing centre if i click on view full map i can see the XP machine but can't click on it

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This sort of problem is usually down to how you set up the network, it makes me scratch my head sometimes what with ip address's and sub net masks!

Here is the Microsoft guide to setting up a home network, hopefully that should guide you through the set up and sort out the problem.

Hi, I had exactly the same problem but when i typed the address direct in to the vista address bar it was there. (ie \\maincomputer\my docs) Don't know why it never appeared on the network but it all works fine.
Just run network wizard from 'my network places' on xp and whatever it is called on Vista.
