Hello,
I have a Vista and a XP laptop that connects wireless through a router to
the internet (internet connection works fine)! With XP on both of them
everything is OK!
With Vista... well, this is another story!

The router has DHCP server enabled!
All the firewalls are closed!
Both are on the same workgroup!
The XP has the LLTD installed!
On Vista I made the following settings:
Set Network: Private
Password Protected Sharing: off (everyone and/or guest used);
The rest of the sharing options are ON.

From XP to Vista it works fine.
When I try to access the XP from Vista I can see the shared folders (all of
them), I can access only SOME of them and I can copy only SOME of the shared
files!
The sharing options on XP are modified to allow acces and also to modify the
files!
I also cannot play anymore games on LAN!

What is the problem? There is no pattern that for example I can copy mp3's
and no other type of files!
I've read all the polls related to this and tried the solutions but the
result is the same!
Plase advice,
Constantin

I forgot to mention that I tried also by installing again Windows on both!
Still the same!

Have you enabled guest account on XP?
