    Another XP & Vista networking problem.

    I have 1 Vista and 2 XP machines connected through a router.
    I've installed LLPT(?) so that the XPs respond to the Vista and appear on
    the Vista's map.
    The Vista is shown in Explorer on the 2 XP machines, and I can transfer
    files between the machines using the XPs.
    On the Vista, I can't see the XPs in the Vista's Explorer. On the network
    map, I can't right click the XP machines and get a context menu.
    WHOA!
    I've just got rid of F-Protect (which used to stall during virus scans) and
    installed Live OneCare, and it's fixed. I can see the XPs on my Vista machine.
    Sorry to bother you.
    I've left this in here as this experience may help others.
