Previously in XP, I used to connect to my work computer by Dial-up
netrworking - I used to have "a dialup connection" on machine A and "an
incoming connection" on machine B. I used to dial from machine A to machine B.

Thereafter there used to be a onetime setup to be done as follows:

on machine A, I would click on searchsearch companion computers or people
A computer on the network

Here I would give the IP address of Machine B and press search. The machine
B would become visible after search which took a while. Then by clicking on
the Machine B in the search results, I could see the shared resources of
machine B.
Here I would map the appropriate shared drives or folder of machine B in
machine A.

Now I want to run a machine with VISTA in place of Machine A. I have been
successful in creating the dialup connection. The Machine A(VISTA) and
machine B(XP) can connect very well by modem. However I do not see how to
proceed further. Where do I search computer B so that I can map its drives
etc.

I will appreciate help of seniors to set up what I used to have earlier.
