XP can access Vista but Vista cannot access XP

[Guest]

I currently have a XP network and I just purchased a laptop running vista
premium and after trying to network my new laptop to my existing network all
I get is access denied and to contact my admin. I did install the LLTD patch
on my XP machines and all of my pc's have the same identical account with
identical passwords and all are on the same workgroup.I did turn off all
firewalls and I don't have any 3rd party firewalls. I also turned off worm
protection in Nortons.Network discovery is turned on,I can sit at any XP comp
and access the files on my vista machine just fine but for the life of me I
can't access any XP machine but the machine shows up in my network.
