Hello,

I have no problem in order to communicate between a Vista computer and a 
XP computer.
Each computer see the other one and I'm able to create, copy delete 
files without any
problem.
I'll try to explain what I did, but as I'm french please excuse my poor 
english !

As I don't want to allow everybody (ie children) to share my files I 
don't use normal sharing
in XP and instead I gave permissions on a user basis. If you do that and 
if you are logged on
both computers with the same name and password, I'm able to see my files 
from XP, from Vista
and from Linux. I just logged with my wife login and password, she can 
see my XP computer, but
is not able to enter the shared folders and she doesn't see the Vista 
computer !!

So do use user based sharings, and log with the same name and password.

Hoping to have replied to the question.

Michel.
