Networking XP to Vista problem.

I can get my vista machine to view shared files on my XP machine, but I cannot get my XP machine to access shared files on my vista machine.

My LLTD protocol is updated on both machines.
Both machines are running on the same workgroup.
Both machines are on the same wireless router.

My vista machine is all but broadcasting to the entire internet when my firewalls are turned off and all folders set to share with everyone. No matter what I do, I can't get my XP machine to find ANY files on my same network.

I'm to the point of going "Office Space" on my PC and laptop.

Can anyone help?

Hi Conchaga! Welcome to bytes.com!
Try searching on Google - it seems, Vista uses a new networking protocol called LLTD and XP doesn't know that protocol if it's not installed by update. But there are several other reasons, which you can solve with that google search.

Greetings,

I have the LLTD Protocol adjusted, and I *should* be able to view my vista machine's files with my XP machine. It just ain't workin'.
