How to Network Vista with XP

1
Hi guys, i really need a help here.

The senario is:
My computer is windows XP and my friend's computer is windows Vista, we both connect to a router to access to the internet. But i'm connected to the router by ethernet, and my friend is connected to the router by wireless. (it's an wireless router).

We have tried all different ways of connecting our computers together, so we can share our stuffs in both computers!
But just couldn't get it to work.......
Couldn't someone help us out?

Thanks A LOTTT!!!

Share what stuff, and how? Are wanting to use file sharing? If so have you enabled it, and configured shared folders on both PCs? Also have enabled this option on your firewalls, including the Windows firewall?
