RE: XP and Vista Networking + file sharing problem
Have a read of the XP > vista info below.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx
Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.
Permissions/Share info is there as well.
If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer
sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall (or LAN allowed, depending on how their
Exceptions are worded in their Firewall)
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 (Vistaâs Public Folder is the same as XPâs 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, and no
identical usernames/passwords, you will be asked for a username and password
when you try to access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a Vista
computer.
Also, run the XPâs Home or Small Office Network File and Printer Sharing
Wizard, even if you had an XP Network set up prior to adding a Vista computer
to it(redoing the Wizard seems to work for XP machines!).
In âMy Network Placesâ: âSet up a Home or Small Office Networkâ
OR under Accessories > Communications > Network Setup Wizard > Allow File
and Printer Sharing.

RE: XP and Vista Networking + file sharing problem
both firewalls are ZoneAlarm.
Vista
-----
Network Name: MSHOME
Private Network, Workgroup name is the same.
Network Discovery: ON
Public File sharing: ON
XP
---
Network Name: MSHOME
Wizard done, still no sign of it appearing on Vista
but, still not working.
