Sam:

If what you say is true and you can see the Vista shares,etc. I'd create
another share on the XP machine on the root of C:. Then, verify Share
permissions are set to Everyone and Security is set to Everyone (you can
raise security later). Finally, make sure every user account is using a
password. If this doesn't work, make sure the user account on the Vista
machine matches the user account on the XP machine.

If this new share works then there is something askew with the permissions.
I find folks like to create shares on their desktop only to discover that
the desktop is restricted to just their user account and therefore doesn't
always "share" well.
