    Help configuring File & Printer Sharing Network between XP Pro & Vista

    Hi,

    Please assist me in configuring File & Printer sharing network between my Desktop (XP Pro) & Laptop (Vista Home Premium 32bit); connected to internet through WiFi ADSL2+Modem.



    Done the intial setup. Named my desktop as 'OfficeDesktop' & my latop as 'SonyVaio'. Now I am able to view my laptop in my desktop network & vice-e-versa.

    The issues am facing is:
    1) In OfficeDesktop (XP Pro);
    I am able to access only the PUBLIC folder but others are coming 'Access Denied'.

    2) In SonyVaio (Vista Home Premium);
    I can view OfficeDesktop, but is not accessible.
    Message: "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer."

    Pls assist.
