File Sharing Vista Home Basic & XP


I'm having a terrible time getting my XP Desktop and Vista laptop to see
each other. I'm running XP SP3 and I've followed any directions I've
found online for networking the two. Both are connected using wireless.
I followed step by step the instructions here:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1165037 Someone I know
networked their computers this way. It doesn't work for me. I'm about
to go nuts! I spent hours working on it and still no luck. I've tried
running cmd to ping the IP address with no luck. I can ping the
computer name though. Not sure if that's important. I'm trying to
share files and a printer with laptop.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks!
