XP sees Vista but says I dont have permission to access, why?
Ive never been able to get my XP and Vista machines to see each other. after
messing with things for the last several hours, i finally got my XP machine to atleast see my Vista machine and the shared C drive. Only prob with it is when I access the C drive to view the contents, i get the popup saying I dont have access or permission to open it. I dont have any passwords or logins on either computer being they are both mine and mine only with no one else using them. also the drive is shared and set to allow changes from other computers. Also i have firewalls turned off. So whats wrong? as a bonus, why cant my Vista machine see my XP machine? Ive done all the standard checks like making sure both are accessing MSHOME, drives on both ends are shared and allowing changing from anyone else, firewalls are down, etc... and out of ideas. whats up?

Do you connect to the Internet? If the security is not issue, enable guest account on both computers. This link may give more details.
