| | Network File/Printer Sharing Have Vista Ultimate installed on desktop #1 and can read/share all the files that are on desktop #2 which is running XP Pro. However, cannot read any files that are on the Vista machine from the XP Pro machine. Have tried everything I can think of with no luck. Any suggestions. File sharing, etc. are all turned on properly. |
