Since I don't know what you did to set up file sharing in Vista, here is
an excellent link that takes you through it easily:

Don't forget to set up XP's file sharing, too. The easiest way is to run
the Network Setup Wizard on XP and then make sure 1) you only have one
firewall running since the Wizard turns on the SP2 Windows Firewall; 2)
configure any third-party firewall to allow the LAN as trusted. It is
also helpful to create identical user accounts and passwords on all
machines and have the same Workgroup set.
