microsoftIf you have a Windows Vista computer but you still wish to stay in touch with Windows Xp because, for example, you have an old  PC with a lot of files, here is a simple procedure to gain access to your XP computer from your brand new Windows Vista  in order to download or see your most precious files. Here is the step-by-step trick:

  1. From your XP computer: Download and install this software  Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder. If it doesn’t work try this other link.
  2. Install the software on your XP machine. When you have finished with the installation, reboot your computer.
  3. From your Vista computer: Click Start.
  4. Click Network.
  5. On the Address bar type your Windows XP IP Address and hit Enter.
  6. If you don’t know what  IP your Windows XP machine has got, go to your Windows XP computer and Click Start.
  7. Click Run and type CMD.
  8. On the Command Prompt, type: ipconfig /all.
  9. Your IP address will be displayed as the IP Address.
  10. Back on your Windows Vista computer: After typing the IP of your Windows XP machine you should be able to see all the XP folders. To access such folders just doble click on them.
  11. Done!

    Thanks for the post! I have both Vista and XP machines at home and it’s a pain to get them working with each other.
