I think that this is not a isolated event. I finally found how to add Vista
to my XP workgroup and it is seen by the other pc's but not accessible. I
now cant see any other pc or even he workgroup from the Vista machine. I
have went through and ensured the firewall is off, the sharing is set
correctly and everything. I am greatly dissatisfied about this and I am
beginning to dislike vista more.

I am having the same problem and have not found a solution. What I have
found is that the only folder that I can access on the Vista machine is the
public folder. So if I want to move stuff to my XP machine I first copy the
files into one of the c:\Users\Public folders and then I am able to transfer
the files to the XP box. The reverse is true if I want to move stuff from
the XP box to the Vista box. I hope this helps until someone comes up with
the real answer.

I have a wirless home network with an XP desktop connected wirelessly to a
new Vista Home Premium desktop. The Vista machine is internet connected
through a cable modem/Linsys wireless router. I have enabled file sharing on
the vista machine for a particular folder, networkk discovery is on, file
sharing on, passwrod protect off and Media Sharing off. I am registered on
both machines under the same name.

The problem is when I try to acess the folder from the XP machine I am
denied access. The folder contains several sub-folders with family photos.
It is not under my user account, On the drive tree it is C:\Family Photos.
What I am I missing in setting up sharing this folder to from my XP machine?
