Problems networking Windows Vista with XP Pro

[voipfc]

I am having some problems networking Windows Vista Home Premium with
Windows XP Pro.

I can't get the XP system to show up in the Vista network, where as
with XP Vista can be seen but browsing does not work.

Is there a good guide to fixing this problem?

The most common cause of this problem is a misconfigured or overlooked personal
firewall.

And check the NetBT setting, and make sure that it's consistent.

Look for other possible Windows Vista - XP problems.
