Hey Kim

Thanks for this, I've actually found it before, everything's set up
fine on the two Vista computers... both are connected to the router
(one wired and the other wireless) but can't see each other. I've
turned off the firewall on both computer and all the Sharing and
Discovery is enabled with minimul permissions in the Network and
Sharing Center. I installed OneCare on both boxes, so i think i'm
going to uninstall it and see if that's causing the problem. I'll post
back the results.

Cheers

Tom

My Solution:

Turned out it was OneCare. There are some options hidden away that
needed to be enabled:

Windows Live OneCare ->
Change OneCare Settinge ->
Firewall connection tool ->
Tick relevant options (Network discovery, file and print settings,
etc) ->
OK ->
Advanced Settings ->
Change file sharing from 'Do not share files and printers" ->
OK ->
OK

Done.

This fixed it all up for me and also allowed the XP box to see the
Vista boxes ok.

Hope this helps someone else.

Cheers

Tom

Having sharing allowed and all the other required share/network settings
correct in Vista and XP machines I could not access Vista shared
foldews/printers from XP machines, however vice-versa I could. Now, after
three days I found the solution:

My Visata machine came with McAfee antivirus preloaded. Both the Windows and
McAfee firewalls were on. As soon as I disabled the McAfee firewall the
network sharing worked as intended!

Doing a little follow-up research, I then turned off Windows firewall and
re-enabled the McAfee firewall, as well as changed the security level setting
in McAfee. At this point I was back to the "no-access" problem so I disabled
McAfee firewall and re-enabled Windows firewall. The network worked like a
carm once again. Now I assume there is an exception check box like "Allow
network folder/pinter sharing" in McAfee's firewall like there is in windows
firewall if you are wanting to use McAfee's firewall instead. Also, this may
be the same issue if you have some other another firewall enabled.
