    I’m running a Home office, I have 4 pc two of which I’m running win98 OS and other two latest one is Win 2003 server and another one Win vista. When I try to make a Network connection its showing error. I just want to know should I upgrade my two pc to win XP or win2003 the error is incompatibility. Is that the only solution for this, any suggestions! Please help.

    I have this kind of problem too. I have 4 XP and 1 Vista computers. The ons that is vista can see all computers I have, but those 4 XP PC can't see vista.

    I don't know why.

    Check your security center and make sure you allow your subnet. Also make sure you have sharing turned on.
