It is common for users to rename the generic user account they started out
with (i.e., rename Computer Administrator to Dick) instead of creating a
new user account as they should.
In Vista - the true names of your user accounts are in C:\Users so look
there.
In XP - the true names of your user accounts are in C:\Documents and
Settings so look there.
Add the XP users to the Vista machine and the Vista user to the XP machine.
You should not disable your firewall; you should configure it correctly to
allow LAN traffic. I can't help you with Norton because I don't support
their products. If you can't figure out how to set it correctly, look in
the program's Help.
Don't understand your last question.
