I have Vista Home premium SP2 64 bit and the other computer is Windows Xp Home SP3 and I am trying to network them together. From the Vista I can see and open the shared items on the XP but on the XP I can see the Vista and the shared items. When I click on users I get the Default and the folders in it and there empty with only samples in some. Of the three under Users, Default, Public and Richard, I want to get Richard to show so I can open it from the XP. In the Vista it says all three are shared but I can only see the default from the XP.

It's a hard wired setup. My modem is a BEFCMU10 Version 4 and the router is WRT54GL Version1.1. When I check Richards folder properties Under Network Path it's not shared. How do I change that to shared?

It was in sharing. It was like the top part of your image where it says not shared and the shared part is greyed out.
