Transfer files to VIsta from XP

If your new Vista PC has a non-Microsoft firewall or "Internet security"
software package on it, try uninstalling it while you get your home network
set up. The option to "disable" these non-Microsoft firewall products
rarely works as advertised and as a result you get a flakey network issue
you can't resolve.

If there is none, run the Network Setup wizard on the new Vista PC and make
sure all settings match those of an existing XP computer on the network.
