Hi All,
I used to have a network that consisted of:
XP Pro / XP Home / Win 98 / Win 2000
they all saw each other and I was able to move & change files between them.
I have had VISTA since 9/2008 and I now LOVE it!!!! ( got it tweaked the way I want ---- thank you SHAWN!!!!! )
however, my vista machine sees my XP machines and the shared folders but my XP machines don't see vista when I open network folder.
I have everything shared, all permissions are full.
I tried again to set up network on XP machine and it sees the vista shares but not allowed access.
ps don't know if it matters, vista is a laptop running wireless.
please help
thanks
Carmine

hi again Joan,
I looked at firewall and it seems fine to me.
I retried the network setup on the xp mach and I'm able to access the public folder

you might try putting them in the same workgroup
i know the default for vista is workgroup
and i thing the default for xp is home (i could be wrong)

Create a account in vista called "test" , assign a password. create an account on XP , name it "test" , assign the same password as that of the Vista system. Now , fire up teh 2 systems by loggin in to the test account.
