Check all bindings using logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net
config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer. The "ipconfig
/all" log is a start, and verifies IP setup. The other 3 logs are needed too.
Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely
(download browstat!):

And check the owners manual for CA Antivirus. I'd bet that you have an
anti-worm component in there. Something is blocking SMBs both ways.

If you have a viable low-level connection (meaning PING-by-number and
PING-by-name both work, from XP HE => XP PRO and from XP PRO => XP HE), the
next thing I'd check is that you have F&P sharing and M$ Client for Nets
enabled on both PCs.

Have tried to enable file sharing (certain folders on each machine) and

apparently the 2 PCs are essentially unable to discsover the other.
Have Norton Internet Security on Vista machine, Norton SystemWorks on XP.
Historically, I have had almost no problems with the Norton products.
When on Vista PC, the network map shows the XP machine when clicking on show
complete network (or whatever the link says). Similarly, the Vist machine
can be seen from the XP although that may only be because I was careful to
place in the same Workgroup.
I don't know what to check first, next , last to get this right. Have read

Yes, unless you've explicitly blocked wireless or done some funky things in
group policy.
Some of this may depend on whether you're using third party wireless
management software (I generally discourage that). But it should be easy for
you to find out.
We have teachers with laptops and want them
to be able to connect to their home wireless. Also, occasionally,
they attend conferences where they will need to be able to do this.
Do we have to give them local administrator rights? What is the
maximum local rights they need to do this - e.g. restricted, power
user, etc.
They shouldn't need anything besides limited user rights. Why not try and
see?
We have only had a few instances when they have had problems connecting. Just wanted to make sure this was not part of the problem. We also run into this with students. For the most part they connect fine. But once in a while they can't. We then have to log in using an account with admin rights then log off and the student can log in fine. It is quite random, so we haven't been able to figure out the problem.

I wanted to thank you. Those websites were very helpful. I configured both
computers' network (yes cable conn.) and everything seems to be working
great. I optimized my TCP/IP Stack on my xp computer that had been so slow
and wow, what a difference that made!!! Again thanks I really appreciate
it!

You did not explain what actually your Internet connection is and how it is
configured in general?
However, since you used the word Router I assume that you have either DSL or
Cable Internet.
If this is so, the Router has to be set to deal correctly with the Internet
connection.
Pass the Router you have a LAN connection. I.e. the computers do not care
any more what type of connection it is form the Internet to the Router, they
are on a Local Private Network (LAN).
You can check and configure the network of each computer by looking at this
process, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html
When the computers are capable to Access the Internet.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,
http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

I'm starting to feel like a complete idiot.
I use IE7, Wind. XP on one computer, vista (ie7) on the other.
I had an internet connection set up for me. I was having some issues with
it such as: some web pages were not opening, getting "could not connect
messages", slow etc. So... I decide that I will set up a new internet
connection. I started doing alot of research on exactly what kind of
connection I needed to set up...I read so many helps etc and I am more
confused than when I started. Anyway now under my network connections I
have
two listed.. one says it's called Broadband connection, WAN miniport
(PPOE)
and the other says Local area connection, Rhine II fast ethern... . I
don't
know which was the old one, I seem to be connecting with the lan one. It
tells me its going to connect now when before it just automatically
did.....
I have two computers, hooked up to a router and the only thing I would
like
to share is the printer. Is that considered to be a network? A lan?
Broadband? what type of connection do I want? and I thought Broadband was
like high speed cable, which is what I have. Also now on the other
computer
(vista), when you open iexp it says "This webpage is unavailable because
you
are offline", yet it I click on one of my favorites it goes there so I
must
be connected. I screwed around with both computers' internet, ie, and
firewall settings and configurations trying to make them the same, I
wish
I never would have done anything. I discovered for some reason my system
restore was not turned on so I couldn't restore it. If somebody could
just
give me some info and answer those questions I will try and make things
right
if I can. I would very much appreciate any help.

Hi Bob
Thanks for your interest. I've checked all u've suggested, and all was ok.
I want to add other thing to my post. When i try to acces to a partition ora
shared hard drive from XP Home to XP Pro, i have the message that i don't
have permission for that, and contact the network administrator, the message
you sure know. The computer with windows xp, i've tried it in other network
and it worke perfect, mapping network drives and exploring them. The big
problem here is that the computer with xp home can´t be formatted and
reinstalled windows again.
Any idea to solve this?

Disable this NIC if you aren't using it (and I can see that you aren't using
it)

Do not use DHCP on a server. Servers need static addresses. Use one that's
not in your DHCP scope....usually lower down in the range, like .20 or
something.

If this is your router, note that you ought to be running DHCP on your
server - esp if you're using AD.

Presuming you're actually running DNS on this server (which you should be if
you're using AD & this is your domain controller) change this to the actual
IP address of the server...currently 192.168.1.105
What IP is that? Remove it.

Is this a legit WINS server IP? Are you even running WINS?

That's awfully long for a NetBIOS name! But that isn't your problem (you're
limited to 15 characters) - you have all sorts of other problems, as I hope
I've shown you above.
