Home networking - new Vista PC with an older PC running Windows XP

Perhaps someone could help this neophyte with a home network problem. After
setting up home networking on both PCs, the XP machine seems to have full
networking access. I can see files on my Vista machine and I can print to a
printer connected to my Vista machine. On my Vista PC, I can see the XP
computer, but I keep getting error messages when attempting to access the
shared files on the XP computer. The edit basically says that I don't have
the necessary permissions to access the XP machine. I'm an administrator on
both PCs, the network names are the same and the XP machine now runs webBios
over TCP/IP. Still didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks
