Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / April 2007Network printer port creation in Vista
Adding a new Vista (32 bit) to an existing network with XP computers. When installing the network printer port it refuses to accept the port with the comment "the segment of the print server you select is different from your computer". Printer is connected to the network through a router. It does find the printer (ping is ok). > Adding a new Vista (32 bit) to an existing network with XP computers. > When installing the network printer port it refuses to accept the > port with the comment "the segment of the print server you select is > different from your computer".

Hi - I suggest you try posting in a Windows Vista group for help with this & other Vista issues - microsoft.public.windows.vista.* If you use this command: net view \\routeripaddress, does it lists the printer? Or post back with the result.

Vista doesn't support 'network printer port' orso, so I did it in an other way, with the checkboxes under in this menu, sorry its a bit unclear but i'm done! > Adding a new Vista (32 bit) to an existing network with XP computers.
