Hello, I have a small question regarding how network mapping in Vista works. I have an HP Laptop with Vista Home Premium installed and have a network between that unit and his old computer running XP SP2 to transfer his personal files. The laptop is being delivered to him at his base in California [he's in the Marines]. I have the LLTDR installed on his XP machine, and both computers can see each other across the network. For now I have his Norton Security software disabled and password sharing disabled so that I can transfer the information until I have a better understanding of how file sharing, permissions, etc. work in Vista. Both computers can see each other's shares, however I noticed a peculiar quirk with the network map after installing the LLTDR on the XP machine. His laptop's icon is clickable, while the other machine shows its own icon, but it isn't clickable.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm wondering why it's set up like that? Shouldn't it work like browsing workgroup computers did under XP where you can double click each computer icon to acess them. Otherwise I have to manually type \\XPmachine [not really a hassle, but I'm just curious as to why it's like this] to access the other computer and browse its shared contents. Is there another setting I have to configure, or is this like some sort of glitch?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

PS. Both computers are running under the same workgroup "Network".
