Re: Unidentified Network, Access: Local Only

Do you have protected your network with a MAC filter? It seems to me that
maybe the router rejects the connection from your Vista PC. Look at the
router configuration menue from your XP PC for the MAC filter and switch it
off.

Are there any errors logged on your router?
