Vista - XP cant see Vista?

**my95z34** · 03-17-2007

I have file sharing setup on the Vista machine and the XP Pro machine. Vista can see and access files on the XP machine, but the XP machine cannot see or access the Vista machine.

I tried to Google but to no avail. If anybody has any ideas, please let me know.

TIA

Hi

might i suggets a scroll down thru the mesages on here

this one has numerous threads possible causes are

1] third party firewalls[many have had to be deleted]
2] vista file sharing not set correctly
3] windows firewall not set correctly

Try changing the XP workgroup name from MSHOME to WORKGROUP, which is vista'a
workgroup name

Ok, I found out that XP is actually seeing Vista, but it wasnt connecting because I had to enter a username and password, but Password Sharing is turned off on the Vista machine.

Why is it still asking for a password?
