I recently bought a laptop running Vista. My desktop is running XP. Both are
connected to the internet ok, through a linksys wireless router (well XP uses
cable, laptop uses wireless). I enabled file/printer sharing on the xp and
laptop and shared a folder on each. On the XP box I can see the vista laptop
machine and access the shared folder no problem using a user name + password.
However on the vista laptop I am unable to see the xp machine or view it's
shared folder.
Firewalls are turned off + workgroup names are the same.
I checked the router, it assigns IPs:
XP machine: x.x.x.101
Vista laptop: x.x.x.102
From XP I can ping x.102. From Vista if I try and ping the XP box I get the
"connection timed out".
Any help would be most appreciated.

After doing a bit more searching I figured out what the problem was - I
needed to install the LLTD upgrade on the XP box and it is working now.
