LAN Network problems with Vista Home Basic

Hi there, this is my first post, hoping to get some help on this issue.

My boss and I are trying to configure a LAN connection in the office, I have a Vista Basic OS, and we also have 2 computers with Vista Home Premium and XP Pro. I've tried to follow several tutorials on the net with no success, and the main problem is that my computer (the one with Vista Home Basic) can connect to the other Vista Home Premium just fine, but they can't connect to mine.

I configured the computers as follows:

-Changed the PC Name and work group to WORKGROUP

-On Network and Sharing Center, I set the network to Private, enabled Network Discovery, File sharing, printer sharing and disabled the use of password.

-Created a folder, and shared with everyone on this group

When trying to connect to other computers from my computer, it works fine, but the other computers, when trying to connect to my computer have this error: Error Code: 0x80070035 - The network path was not found

Is there a problem with Vista Home Basic than can't allow other computers to connect to it? Or is there another configuration i'm missing on the first place?

I would very much appreciate your help on this issue. Thanks

Yes, all of them are setup as Private Network.

Do you have a firewall enabled in your Vista? Try to disable it. If you are going to use a firewall you must configure it to allow incoming Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic. Have a look into this article File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista, there you will find all the TCP and UDP ports to configure. Good luck.
