Thank you for the information. From what I can tell, I have this all set
correctly

My solution was shutting off my Norton Firewall!!! A friend of mine with
Vista had to shut off his firewall as well! Worth a shot!

I have tried all suggestions made in this thread and still no luck. Could I

Will,

With one way visibility and access, chances are good that you have a personal
firewall problem.

It would help us a bit to know what edition of Vista and XP do you have, and
what settings are you using? Windows XP might be XP Home, XP Pro with Simple
File Sharing, XP Pro with Advanced File Sharing and Guest only access, or XP Pro
with non-Guest access. Windows Vista might be using Password Protected Sharing
disabled, or enabled. These are important settings.

You also need to be aware of specific challenges in Windows Vista.
