Ok, I found the article. That update is NOT for x64. The x64 networking
is already updated in SP1 (which is a bit later than the release of x86
SP2). But like you said, it wasn't XP Pro x64 that was having the problem
seeing the Vista machine, it was the other way around. I simply couldn't
access the visible folders from ANY machine on the LAN. Now, with Vista
updated and 'Guest' users added to those folders, I can read/write to them
from any system on my lan. Cool :-) That's what I needed.
