Vista and XP Network issue

G

Guest

I am trying to add a Vista computer to an existing home network, but having
difficulty. The XP computers can see the Vista computer, but not the other
way. Everything appears to be setup correctly, with Netword Discovery set to
On, all the computers on the same Workgroup, etc. Still I cannot map a
network drive or connect to a network printer on the Vista computer. Any
ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
