Can't access a pc in a noetwork

Hi,


I've asked a question recently about configuring an ad hoc network.
Unfortunately I couldn't solve the problem.

So I've tried another solution: instead of an ad hoc network, a simple
wireless network with a router, a desktop with windows xp professional and a
notebook with vista home premium. I want the pcs to share folders and to
access the internet.

After trying many suggestions I've read in internet, I could manage to have
the two pcs view each other. But when I try to access them,I get an error
telling me I can't access the other pc.

These are the solutions I've already tried, without any success: disable the
firewalls (all of them); setting the same account with same password on both
pcs; set an IP adress for both pcs (192.168.2.3 and 192.168.2.4 ,
255.255.255.0 as a subnet mask for both, 192.168.2.1 as gateway for both and
192.168.2.1 as DNS for both); disable the dhcp server on the router; share
some folders on the two pcs.

That's all I've tried so far. Could anyone suggest me a possible solution?

Thank you very much

I've run the xp home network wizard and configured Vista's settings as the
how-to says.

This is the error I get when I try to access the vista pc from xp (I'll
translate it in english):

"Impossible to access \\COMPUTERNAME. The user could not have enough rights
to use this net resource. Not able to find the network path."


And when I access the xp comp from vista i get this error:

"Impossible to access \\COMPUTERNAME - A network component doesn't work
properly. A Layered Service Provider isn't up-to-date."

And below I have the option to "delete the component that doesn't work
properly"


What sould I do??
