Can't ANYONE help me out here????
Where are the techs to answer my question?
What settings to I apply to NIS to allow Vista in???
What makes you identify Norton 360 as the cause of the problem? Could you communicate over the network in both directions before you installed Norton 360?
When you say "connect" do you mean access a file on one PC from the other? Or copy/move a file across?
I have a not dis-similar setup except my desktop is XP Pro / VISTA Ultimate dual boot while my laptop is XP Pro but from the desktop I can "connect" with the laptop regardless of the desktop OS and vice versa -- but I did have to set up permisssions.
One of VISTA's kinks is that it describes people as Administrator/Users but they don't have the powers of the real top level hidden Administrator unless you give those permissions to the users to upgrade their permissions.
Let us know some more and someone may be able to help you.
I don't think it's 360, I think it's NIS on my desktop, it's not allowing Windows Vista in.
I can see my wifes laptop on my PC but I can't connect to my PC from her laptop to access my hard drive. We have Linksys as the router and before she got the new laptop we had no problem accessing my PC. I really think it has to something with the Vista OS.
I found this link but I don't know how to make these changes?
If you are using a firewall other than Windows Firewall, you must configure the firewall to allow incoming network discovery and file and printer sharing traffic.
For network discovery of other computers running Windows Vista, you must allow the following incoming Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic:
UDP 3702
TCP 5357
TCP 5358
For network discovery of computers running Windows XP and for file and printer sharing for both Windows Vista and Windows XP, you must allow the following incoming traffic:
UDP 137
UDP 138
TCP 139
TCP 445
For network discovery of network devices, you must allow the following incoming traffic:
UDP 1900
TCP 2869
For more information about how to configure your third-party firewall to allow incoming traffic, see the documentation for your third-party firewall.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Well if you think it is the firewall(s) disable all of them, Windows and Norton. Windows may have a hissy fit but that's it's problem <g>

You can "see" but can you access files? Open a text file in Notepad; copy or move ..... and so on. Active rather than passive?
From her laptop you cannot connect to your PC to access your hard drive. This sounds like a classic case of permissions -- I've been through that and the solution in my case involved giving permission to the other PC to access the files.
