Default Network between XP and Vista

Hello,

I can´t have access to any of computers running the XP OS in my network,
from my computer running Vista.

I have already runned the KB922120 patch on all XP PC's and I can see them
all in the network map. But only my computer (with Vista) appears in the
network window and I can only get access to my own shared files - this
happened both with wireless an ethernet networks.

Thank you,
Phil

If you can map them but browse, it could be the computer browser issue. You may want to use browstat.exe to check the master browser status. This search result may help,

I disabled the master browser but it didn´t work. the network places
continued with nothing but my folders and the router
I didn't downloaded browstat.exe because I could only find those support
tools for XP (and there was no assurance of compatibility)
I can ping the computores near me that ar using XP.
Can there be another thing that I try?

Hi Phil,
I have Vista Home Premium networked with 2 XP Pro computers. Make sure the
network is named the same. Vista uses Workgroup. Vista Home premium does not
work on a domain.
