if you are using a router for both laptop and desktop,then you will need to forward the port that the p2p is using.And also set your p2p as a trusted program in your firewall...good luck

Check the Acer web site to see if there are any patches or updates for that problem. Make sure you have downloaded the updates for Vista. Check with Microsoft to see if there are Vista patches for your particular Acer.

If you are using a router, then you need to forward the port.
