Default Problem setting up a network between XP and Vista

At home, I have a lap top using Vista Home Premium while two other PCs and
one other lap top are using XP. The XPs connect with each other well,
sharing files and a printer by a router connected to one of the PCs. How can
I connect the Vista with them? Thanks!

Vista Internet Connectivity Tool

Network Map Tool patch for XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
- tool is only for Vista to display the presence of XP network connected
machines. It does not resolve any network sharing issues.

Or try Network Magic as mentioned in other threads. I installed it and was able to see my XP machines immediately. Still can't see them through the Vista Network interface however. There's a free 30 day trial version on their website:
