That error usually means a problem with the TCP/IP stack, but with Vista
I just don't know. Double-check your firewall status on the XP machine
just to make sure you aren't inadvertently running two of them - XP SP2
Windows Firewall and one connected with your antivirus perhaps.
Also, please post back with the results of ipconfig /all on both machines.
XP:
Start>Run>Cmd [enter]
ipconfig /all [enter]
Vista:
Orb>Search box type>cmd [enter]
Right-click on the link to cmd that appears and run as administrator
Then do the same command as above.
