    Vista cannot read files on XP

    Hi, My home network consists of Vista Home Premium 64bit and XP Home 32bit. Both computers show the others public/shared folders. I have no trouble accessing these files on the Vista from my XP computer, but I cannot access the XP's files from the Vista. File sharing is ticked on both computers

    Try LLTD KB922120. This can be downloaded from:
    Download details: Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder (KB922120)

    Thanks churin. I had already tried this and found as I have sp3 installed which superceeds this LLTD download.
