Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.
How to give Permissions are there, too.

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, you will be
asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer
from an XP computer.

Also, run the XP’s Home Network File and Printer sharing Wizard.

I have done all this Vista PC still can not see XP PC

One more thing I noticed. Is that when I share a folder. I get Folder could
not be shared. But the share icon showes up and the XP pc can see the folder.
Also when in network my PC icon shows but I can not access.

Your problem now is:
A firewall issue
A permissions issue
Net work discovery HAS to be ON
Workgroup names the same
What anti-virus?

 

[Bear]

No anti-Virus
Workgroup is the same
Net Work Discovery is on
I use Vist Firewall
