If you can see it but not access, it could be the permission issue. Make
sure you have assigned permission in the Security tab. Or this search
results may help.

i may be misunderstanding your response, but are you saying i should change
permissions on the vista machine in order to connect to the xp machine? the
xp machine is running xp home, so it is my understanding from reading this
forum and the link you provided that there is no security tab there.

For Windows XP Home Edition, you must start in Safe mode and log on as
Administrator or as an Administrative Users. This link may help too.
