Vista Home Networking
...At the time, I had an XP laptop, and I was able to get the two networking just fine without any major issues. After selling that laptop and purchasing a brand new Vista laptop, I couldn't get the two to network to save my life. Now, this wasn't an issue when I first got the laptop because I wasn't worried about trying to network the two; my focus was on uninstalling all the junk that it comes with and putting on my desired applications (one of which being Windows Live OneCare, since I was giving that a try as my system's security suite, and had already been running it on the desktop). Once all of that was said & done and I was ready to network (to transfer files and setup the printer), I was unable to do so. Using Vista's network map, I could clearly see that my wife's computer was connected to the network & vice-versa, but I couldn't access them for the life of me...
