Ok on my main machine i have shared my music folder so i can listen to it on my laptop whist working.
The main machine is XP Home and the laptop is Vista Home.
Sometime the Network directory in vista shows the xp machine and sometimes it dosnt.
I assumed that this was due to it not finding it on the wireless network. However i have today just run one of my songs and listed to it yet when i go into the Network section it dosnt show the main machine.
If from Media Player i select the show file location from the right click menu it find the other machine.
Can anyone tell me why this is. Is it a problem with Vista and XP talking to each other. Or is it just that Vista is slow at identifying shared folders?
Thanks
