Hi folks,

I've just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. Seems everything
works fine on it. I have a home network. It's a "hybrid", DLink DI-524
WirelessG router and 4 port switch. Desktop is wired to the router,
external hd wired to router. Desktop is running XP Pro x64. Also have an
old laptop running XP Home.
The only networking problem I have (I think) is that my Vista system won't
see either of the XP systems in the Network Map or in Explorer - Network if
it is turned on while the other systems are already running. I literally
have to turn on the Vista laptop first, then start or reboot the XP systems.
Network Discovery Help tells me that I need to install "Link Layer Topology
Discovery Responder" on the two XP systems. I found that for XP x86. I
haven't found that for XP Pro x64. Apparently it is not included in the x64
SP2, which I just installed on the x64 machine.
*WHEN* the Vista machine does see the other two systems, they can all 3 talk
back and forth, file and printer sharing, all day long, just fine.

Any help for this one?

TIA!
McG.
