    Vista and Xp networking issue

    I have 4 computers connected to my wirless router and all computers are under
    the same DOMAIN. 3 copmuters are windows XP and the other computer is windows
    vista....the problem is that my windows vista laptop says it doesn't detect
    any other copmuters on the network but my windows xp computers show the vista
    copmuter on the network but when i try to open it says i have no
    access......I've tried about every settings I could to make it work and it
    doesn't i need help...(FYI: My router is just for sharing files and
    printers...and has no internet connection!!!)
