Vista - Windows XP and Vista Sharing

I have read the messages of sharing Vista (Home Premium) and WindowsXP SP2.
I am trying to set up a network between my desktop computer (OS WindowsXP
SP2) and my HP Pavilion dv6690ej laptop (OS Vista Home Premium Hebrew
edition). Both computers use the Windows Firewall. The router is the Siemens
SL2-141 Modem router. The desktop computer is connected to the router through
a Lan connection while the laptop is connected by a wireless connection.
The problem:
Both computers are configured to have the same workgroup: MSHOME.
While the WindowsXP computer recognizes the folders in the laptop (Vista),
and can open the folders and files, the laptop recognizes the existence of
the logical drives and folders in the desktop, but does not allow to open
them, giving a message (freely translated from Hebrew):
"There is no possibility to access the drives or folders in the XP desktop
because maybe you do not have permission do so. Contact to the Network
manager(?) to see if you have an access permission.
There is not enough storage (?) to operate this process"

That's a problem with the server, ie the desktop running Windows XP.

Run the XP file and printer sharing wizard.

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.

Permissions/Share info is there as well.

If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer
sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall.

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, you will be
asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer
from an XP computer.

Also, run the XP’s Home Network File and Printer Sharing Wizard to include
Vista in your “New� Network, even if you had an XP Network set up prior to
adding a Vista computer to it.

Your problem may not be the computer running Vista. The message "Not enough
server storage ..." ("There is not enough storage to operate this process") is
well known here.

Performing your excellent advice as explained in the article and updating
the data in the registry, did the trick, and now everything is alright in my
home network.
