Vista - small networking problem

hi all


ive manage to get vista x64 sharing files and sharing its printer with x86 xp pro
ive done this using private network and turning on the public folder sharing
and i will be using the folders the ms have already setup for sharing (much the same as sharing xp to xp )

i hope this is the correct safe way to share files on my home network ?


but i would like to ask why the share folders im sharing on the vista machine show on
the vista machine as on internet zone and not local
