| 2009-01-30 | Steve | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for the assistance. I forgot to mention that I am running McAfee Internet Suite (provided free by AOL - my email program). I did figure out that I had to go into McAfee configure, system services and enable Windows File Sharing. I am now able to see the desktop shared folders from the Vista laptop, but I can't see the Vista shared folders from the Desktop (running XP). Still can't see the printer (I'm sure I need to set it up as a bridge) yet. I'll read thru the info you referenced and see if I can get it going. Thanks again. Steve |

| 2008-11-22 | lesley | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your reply. Not what I wanted to hear, but what I thought your reply would be! We don't have cable where I live, but perhaps if I connect via a router the line will reconnect automatically without me realising it had disconnected? Thanks for the great service |

| 2008-09-20 | LANDON | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Excellent answers! Thanks! I should have mentioned on the keyboard/mouse issue that they are USB. And what's even more weird is that there are 6 USB ports and they won't work in any of them but the keyboard works in the BIOS. Weird! |

Expertise
I have a fair amount of experience in peer-to-peer networking using Windows 95/98. I can answer questions about hardware, networking software, protocol settings, etc. I have some client-server experience, but not a lot with Windows-based servers. I can also give some advice on home network security: VPN, firewalls, anti-virus, etc.
Experience
I am the Director of Information Systems for a large law firm which connects about 300 users over five offices via a wide area network. We use client-server, peer-to-peer, WINS, remote access, VPN, DSL Internet, and proxy servers.
I also have a peer-to-peer network of six computers at home, with file and print sharing, remote access, and shared Internet access with a firewall.
