Below is some info about Networking XP and Vista
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing. Permissions/Share info is there as well. If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall (or LAN allowed, depending on how their Exceptions are worded in their Firewall) 1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is the SAME. In Vista Network and Sharing: Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers) Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc) File Sharing: ON Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared Docs) Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, and no identical usernames/passwords, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a Vista computer. Also, run the XP’s Home or Small Office Network File and Printer Sharing Wizard, even if you had an XP Network set up prior to adding a Vista computer to it(redoing the Wizard seems to work for XP machines!). In “My Network Places”: “Set up a Home or Small Office Network” OR under Accessories Communications Network Setup Wizard Allow File and Printer Sharing. -- Mick Murphy - Qld (Sunshine State) - Australia "sfmmwl" wrote: my english is very poor 1.Vista can access XP computer & share file, XP can not access Vista computer & share file 2.XP can find Vista computer in LAN 3.XP can not ping Vista 4.Vista & XP ip are 192.168.1.x.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

The OP's Vista can access the files on the XP computer.
But the Microsoft article on Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) is to enable XP to map Vista. *TimDaniels* "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Jack (MVP-Networking).

Somehow, I don't know how, exactly, I got my XP Pro (SP3) desktop
and my Vista Business (SP1) laptop to see each other thru my Lynksys router, the Vista laptop appearing in My Network Places on the XP desktop PC, and the XP desktop appearing in Network on the Vista laptop PC. The XP Pro shares its Shared Documents folder, and the Vista Biz shares its Public folder - no username or password required - and both machines use the same workgroup name ("HOMEGROUP"). This is *without* Link Layer Topology Discovery installed on the XP Pro, which I hear is only needed for making pretty iconic maps. Probably significantly, I listed each PC's IP adrs in the other PC's firewall list of trusted adrses, and I verified that each could ping the other at those adrses. I wish I could help more, but I only achieved this after days of fumbling and fruitless search of the Internet and newsgroups. Now I contemplate networking between the XP Pro desktop PC and Ubuntu (dual-booted) on the laptop PC. shudder. *TimDaniels* "Timothy Daniels" wrote: The OP's Vista can access the files on the XP computer.
