Hi, I just got a new laptop with Vista Home Premium and I'm having problems seeing the server at work. I can connect to the LAN and the internet works but I can't see the server and no one else can see me. Please help or I'm going to have to buy Xp and load it on the laptop. Thanks

Can No one help me here?? I've tried changing the reg key LmCompatibilityLevel from 3 to 1 and I still can't see the server. Please help!! Thanks

Hi, Thank you for your post. Before we go further, I would like to confirm the following points with you: 1. Is it a workgroup or domain environment? 2. Can the Windows Vista machine access the shared folders on the Windows 2000 Server via UNC path? 3. How does the Windows Vista machine connect to the server? Is there any router or firewall between them? Additionally, please temporarily turn off firewall on the Windows Vista machine, router and server to narrow down the issue. I look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Joson Zhou Microsoft Online Community Support

Hello, I am having the same issue. I have a vista Home Premium laptop, and when I connect to my work network, I can't see the server.We haveWindows Server 2000in a workgroup network, no domain. I can't map the drive of the server either, when typing the full UNC path like on my XP machines. I have turned off all firewalls, antivirus, antispyware, with no success All computers are connected to a switch. Thank you for your help ysf
