I have a home network. Four computers, two are Windows XP, one is Vista and one is Windows 7. I can not see these computers when I access the network. How come?

Hi,

Do you mean you cannot see them in the Network Map?

If that's the case, there are a couple of possible reasons.

First, the Network Profile on Vista and Windows 7 is set to Public (or maybe even Domain).

If your network is set to Private on your Windows 7 and Vista machines, then if you cannot see your XP machines, this could be that the Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder component is not installed on the XP machines.

Downloading and install the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder (KB922120) hotfix.

If this is not the problem, then can you provide more details?
