Both of my xp machines can see and access vista with no problem.
Vista on the other hand can only access one of the xp machines even though
it can see both on the network.

The machine that vista can see but can't access comes up asking for username
and password, this machine has no password, I have tried entering just the
user name but no luck there, I have checked all the settings between the two
xp machines and they seem to be all the same.

Any sugestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

For the security reason, you should assign the password for sharing. Try to create the same username with password on both XP. Can you access them now? Please post back with the result.
