Finally! I've got it.
I followed your suggestions and removed IPX/SPX from the XP computer plus
disable IPV6 on the Vista computer. After restarting both computers the
problem persisted.
Then I came across your article regarding the IRPStackSize on your website.
I increased it to 20 and voila, the network is now working. I can see both
computers and access the shared printer.
Thank you very much, Chuck. I could have not done it without your help.

I'd start by removing IPX/SPX from Girls, and restarting both computers. If
