Mike,

Did you set the Network Location Type to Private?

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html

Is NetBT Enabled, consistently?

If no help yet, look at logs from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from
each computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):

thanks for the hek chuck but i dont think thats the problem i think it has
more to do with the securty policys in vista and i say this because the only
folders i can get to from xp going to vista is the pulbic ones i even tryed
to place a shortcut to the folder i wanted but that was a no go im trying to
play around with the user rights now ill let you know how it goes thank again
