Compare the similarities and differences between Vista and XP route settings

Compare the similarities and differences between Vista and XP route settings. The following describes the settings of wireless routes in Microsoft Vista and Windows XP systems. In fact, the methods are basically the same, there are some small gaps. First, prepare two computers with the operating system installed, one for Microsoft Vista and the other for Microsoft Windows XP, and then set up the twisted pair wires and routers (a commonly used device in LAN, can effectively prevent Arp viruses), and use the network cable to connect the two hosts as usual. After completing the above steps, you will start to configure related computers.

◆ Vista and XP route settings: Open the control panel of the Vista system, click the windows Firewall in Security (allow programs to pass through the Windows Firewall), and in the example, select, select file and printer sharing, and then select network discovery. If this option is not selected, the Vista platform cannot connect to the host when accessing computers on other networks or accessed by other computers, therefore, you must enable the network discovery function to automatically search for third-party computers.

◆ Vista and XP route settings: Open Control Panel-network and Internet-set file sharing, and check whether file sharing, printer sharing, and public folder sharing are enabled on the computer. Enter services. msc calls up the service item, sets the Server under it as automatic, and manually starts the service. If this item cannot be started, the computer cannot support file, print, and named pipe sharing through the network.

◆ Vista and XP route settings: Then, the Workstation Service is automatically started to ensure that the connection between the client network and remote server is created and maintained through the SMB protocol, to allow XP and Vista to communicate with each other in a network neighbor, you must start the ComputerBrowser service to refresh and maintain the network computer update list.

◆ Vista and XP route settings: Set the operating platforms of two machines and different systems to the same working group or use the default WorkGroup. If you use a vro to automatically assign an IP address, on the General tab, select the automatically obtained IP address and click OK to save. Note: Be careful when selecting to automatically obtain the DNS server address, because some networks require setting the DNS server address. Otherwise, the domain name may not be properly resolved when you connect to the Internet, resulting in no Internet access.

◆ After the above Vista and XP route settings, the two computers can access each other using the user name and password authorized by the other platform. To ensure security, create a new account on the two computers, determine the user group, append the six-digit password, and delete the GUEST user account.
