Greetings Mike,
I just purchased the "Dummies" book of win 7, so given enough time, I
hope I'll stumble upon the part I've been missing so far..

As I was telling Noel, I already have several items I need to check on,
the router, the vista machine, and for sure the win 7, plus I did find
out this machine is using NORTONS which has disabled the win 7 firewall in
favor of its own.. So that might be part of the problem..

Hopefully I'll be able to remember all the problems I find and pass them
along to everybody..

Tks for all the feedback

RTS

Hi,

Not even the router? If so it would appear your Win 7 system isn't as yet
correctly configured for networking. You mentioned having a box running
Vista. The Win 7 machine should be able to see the Vista machine even if
it cannot access files on Vista due to Vista having no visible shares.
Have you tried running the networking wizard (Set up a new connection or
network) from Win 7's Network & Sharing Centre?

Are you perhaps running a third party fire wall? If so the useful link
posted by Joan in this thread tells you which ports you need to open.
