So, apparently according to my laptop, my mom's computer doesn't exist. My brother's computer, which runs XP is visible, and so is my linux based (SAMBA share) MyBook NAS.... And yet my mom's windows vista running laptop does not show up to my (vista running) laptop.
On top of that, her network window says there's nothing else on the network with her.
What the fuck?
I'm trying to get printer sharing to work, and my mom's computer is apparently deaf dumb and blind when it comes to network sharing. Everything is enabled, it's on the same workgroup, as far as I can tell, it should be visible. On top of that, trying to confirm that the printer itself is shared by searching for all shared stuff on her computer yields nothing, despite the fact that there should be the printer there.
So if anyone has any clue as to why her computer refuses to acknowledge that there are other computers in the house, and that it should be set to share her printer, let me know. This is getting stupid.
