RE: Accessing Vista PC Files From XP Wireles Desktop

I think that this is not a isolated event. I finally found how to add Vista
to my XP workgroup and it is seen by the other pc's but not accessible. I
now cant see any other pc or even he workgroup from the Vista machine. I
have went through and ensured the firewall is off, the sharing is set
correctly and everything. I am greatly dissatisfied about this and I am
beginning to dislike vista more.
