i have three computers i need networked, before i installed vista on two computers my network was setup. i had printer and file sharing, now after i upgraded two of the three computers its all buggy on the network, i can see all computers on one but not on the other,

so what i intend to do is wipe out the network on all three computers and start a new.

does anyone have a guide or instructions on how to do this?

thank you for your reply... i tried the fixes you posted and got nothing. here are the issues i am having, this is the way i installed maybe it has something to do with it..

computer A - full install
Computer b - upgraded
Computer c - still on XP


now if i share a folder on computer A computer B and C can see them but if i try to open them it says i dont have access even tho when i shared it i gave access to everyone.

another problem is my printer is on computer C all computers can see it on the network but only computer B was able to install it Computer A says unknown monitor

this might a pain to read i know i got dizzy writing it.... but i figured it was the easiest way to explain it.


any ideas?

OK! i got the files sharing to work finally!!!! the only problem now is the printer sharing i am still getting the "unkown monitor" error i went to the website for the printer and installed the drivers directly still no luck oh well we are getting there thanks for all the help guys.

Here are some helpful tutorials on networks.
