First, can you ping the XP by IP?

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing. How to give Permissions are there, too. 1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is the SAME. In Vista Network and Sharing: Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers) Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc) File Sharing: ON Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared Docs) Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer from an XP computer. Also, run the XP’s Home Network File and Printer sharing Wizard. "Sa.raah" wrote: I Have router and three computers XP connected together.

Can your Vista machine reach the internet? Can your VIsta machine ping the XP machine? You can retrieve the IP address of a machine from the status of its network connection, or by typing "ipconfig" on the command prompt. And 60 day norton protection. I've seen virus scanners cause strange issues with Vista (tho not normally in the vanilla setup you are using.) If the issues persist, try to uninstall Norton. (Disabling is often not good enough.)
