I gotta say, no computer problem has ever caused me this much grief or caused
me to cuss so much in my life, so hopefully someone can help me...

I have been trying for the good part of a month to set up a network between
ONE Vista machine and ONE XP Machine, and have been told to go screw myself
by my Vista machine at every turn, everyday...

I've realized I posted about this awhile ago but here is my problem again in
a nutshell:

*The XP Machine cannot see the Vista Machine, ever.
*The Vista Machine will occassionally show the XP machine in the Network
Folder, about 25% of the time.
*I am sometimes able to access the XP machine using \\ip address. When this
is successful, sometimes I am able to actually read/write to folders, other
times access is denied.
*If the XP machine shows up in the Network Folder, it is almost guaranteed
that I won't be able to access it via \\ip address. If the XP machine does
not show up in the Network forlder, then I have a better chance of using \\ip
address.
*The XP machine always comes out in the Network Map.

I have a Linksys WRT350N wireless router. The Vista box is connected with a
cable, and the XP brick is connected wirelessly.

I have determined the following, beyond a doubt:
*The problem lies with the Vista box and not the XP brick because I have a
Archos portable media player (its OS is Linux based I believe), and both the
player and the brick can see each other and interact just fine.
*It maybe a problem with NetBios Over TCP/IP, as ipconfig.txt says it is
disabled on all my adapters (even thoe it is clearly enabled in WINS tab).
*It maybe a problem with the NT Browser Service, as browstat.txt says
browsing is not active on the domain, I cannot find it in the service list.

(I've tried everything in PChuck articles and all Mick Murphy suggestions,
the standard stuff I guess)
(the output of the ipconfig.txt and browstat.txt is included in a reply)

Thanks in advance for any help, sorry if I sound rude. :P
