a new problem with XP and Vista sharing.

I have a network based on a Vista Desktop, wireless Vista Laptop, and a XP
desktop. The network works fine between the two Vista machines but the XP
desktop can access all files which are shared between the Vista desktop and
laptop even though I have not set up any permissions to allow that.
Secondly, I am unable to access any files on the XP desktop from the Vista
desktop or laptop. It tells me I do not have permission to do so; even
though I have assigned these folders to be shared on the XP desktop.

From what I have been reading it sounds like networking between XP and Vista
is fraught with errors. I would just like have the XP machine share the
printer and not have access to either of my Vista machines. If anyone has
any suggestion, I am all ears.
