Ever since getting my Windows Vista Home Premium notebook in June, I have
always had this problem:

In the Network window, I can see both my Notebook and my home PC which runs
Windows XP Home. When I double-click on the XP Computer, after attempting to
connect, I get a 'Network Error':

Windows cannot access \\computer name

In the 'Details' section I get:

Error code: 0x80070035
The network path was not found.

In my Network and Sharing Center, I have enabled:
Network discovery, File sharing, Public folder sharing, Printer sharing,
Password proteted sharing, and Media sharing.

On my XP computer, I have run the 'Set up a home network' wizard, enabling
File and Printer sharing, and made sure that the workgroup was set to MSHOME
on both computers.

For the most part I cannot access any XP computers through Vista.

And also I have the LLTD responder installed on my XP machine.

Mark,

The error "network path was not found" aka Error 53, has a number of possible
causes. The most frequently seen is either a NetBT setting mismatch, or a
personal firewall blocking name resolution packets aka SMBs.

To diagnose this, you could look at logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig
/all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer.
Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely
(download browstat!) (note the command window in Vista):
