I would really like to connect my two computers via a crossover cable. I
have my vista and xp computer connected this way, but my xp computer does not
show up in the vista. I can access the vista computer from my xp computer in
my network places.
The xp showed up in vista once before, but now it does not. I have my
firewalls turned off.

im stumped

Can you ping the XP from Vista? If not, I would check the firewall or other security software. These posts may help,
