XP / Vista networking

Did as you suggested and got the response:-
Node I pAddress 192.168.0.201
NetBIOS Remote Machine name Table

PC1 00 UNIQUE Registered
PC1 20 UNIQUE Registered

HARRY 03 UNIQUE Registered
WELLSIDE 1D GROUP Registered
MSBROWSE 01 GROUP Registered

MAC Address 00-14-85-E4-5A-63

Wireless Network Connection
Node IpAddress 0.0.0.0 scope Id: []
Host Not Found

Everything else is double checked as Malke suggested. Still same error.
I am assuming that the problem lies with the XP machine (PC1) which is the
one which has been reinstalled.
I am on the point of giving up before I go completely nuts since I can do
most things from the PC and the laptop connects to the internet and prints.
Many thanks to both you and Malke for your advice.

Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem
with your network. To try to identify and resolve network
problems, click Diagnose Error Code 0x80070005
Access is denied



From the laptop, try bringing up a command prompt window and enter the
command:

nbtstat -a PC1

If there's no response, look to one of the following:
o File and Printer Sharing not loaded/enabled on PC1
o A firewall on PC1 is blocking communication.
o (unlikely): PC1 is a P-Type (Peer-to-Peer) Node
(ipconfig /all to determine)

Otherwise, look toward Malke's suggestions.

HTH,
John
