So i had a home network of 4 machines, all plugged in via net cables. these are routed through a couple of switches through my house that all lead back to a single router controlling my cable connection sharing was spotty in XP, so i used IPX and all was well.
However,
Now i upgraded my primary box to vista, so i had some of the standard vista. So back to Tcp i go.
I had some of the standard newb vista -> xp issues and vice versa. spent a good couple hours between here and google and still cant seem to get resolved.
So heres the latest:
I scrapped one of the machines, who needs 4 machines constantly hooked up at thier house anyway.. (3 is fine
).
Heres the computers:
Server (xp sp3)
Home Theatre (xp sp3)
Primary (vista)
Server -> Primary = Success
Server -> HT = Success
Primary -> Server = Success
Primary -> HT = FAIL (Access denied or path does not exist)
HT -> Server = Success
HT -> Primary = FAIL (Access denied or path does not exist)
They are all on the same workgroup, i have shutdown and turned on firewalls etc. have everything now setup to allow access (obviously working because 2 of the machines talk just fine).
Now im at a total loss.
I brought up Server in a remote session in my primary box (within screens range of the HT). And made Every Single network setting identical on the HT machines as the Server machine. I figured the server machine worked this should do the trick, but no luck. I am still having the same results, the HT and my primary can't talk to each other..
Any ideas would be appreciated, all of my latest and greatest stuff and my projects are kept on my primary, even thought i have a seperate server, sharing on the primary is the most important of the three.
