    Strange behavior in wireless network

    Hey all,


    it's me, again... :-D

    Ok Thanks to everyone who tried to help me with my wireless network problem
    between an xp and vista computer.

    After 10 days of trying I still couldn't access a pc from the other, UNLESS
    I tried to type the ip of the other comp in the "Run..." box of windows. The
    shared folder opens...finally!!! It works this way on both computers, but
    if I try to access the computers as usual, from the network window, I get an
    error message (Not enough rights...and so on) What's the reason? The shared
    folders now work, but why don't they work the easy way??
