Network File/Printer Sharing
Have Vista Ultimate installed on desktop #1 and can read/share all the files
that are on desktop #2 which is running XP Pro. However, cannot read any files that are on the Vista machine from the XP Pro machine. Have tried everything I can think of with no luck. Any suggestions. File sharing, etc. are all turned on properly.

Many possibilities. Can you ping the vista by ip? If yes, what do you receive if using "net use \\xpip" command? Or this troubleshooting may help,
