file sharing between xp vista what am missing

I've spent the last 5 hours trying to network my Vista build 5384 to XP SP2 through a D-Link DGL-4300. Neither computer can see the other but they can both ping each other. I have firewalls turned off on both systems as well as all that crazy Vista security for troubleshooting. My two XP systems can see and share with out a problem. What am I missing here?

Yes I've already done that. I cannot access either vista or xp by browsing, or by going to run and using the IP or \\computername. At the very least the vista machine should be able to access the xp ones since their file sharing has been setup and working perfectly for years!

I'm having the same problem.
I can't access my laptop running XP Pro from my Vista Beta 2 PC.
I CAN access my Vita PC from my XP laptop though...

Acually, I went into Nework Center & disabled then re-enabled my adapter, rebooted and now everything works ok.

If you haven't already:
go to Start Menu right click My Computer select Properties (sytstem properties opens up) select the Computer Name tab click on the Change button (To rename this computer or joint a domain . . .) select Workgroup set the Workgroup name to WORKGROUP
Workgroup name must be set to WORKGROUP for you to be able to see either machine from the other (Vista beta 2 and WinXP

Well it already was workgroup, but I've tried changing the workgroup on all of the computers to different things including of course "workgroup"

I had also a problem with my D-link DGL - 4300? I have upgraded its firmware to 1.6. And now I haven't got any more problems with it. Maybe you can try it to.

A little glitch that I found too, try putting both computers in the same workgroup "chaoslost200" wrote in message

I installed the Beta last night and had no problems sharing files between that and an XP SP2 machine. doublecheck your settings, they need to be in the same workgroup and the same domain. I use MSHOME and WORKGROUP. Also you should be able to see your gateway as part of your network and will need to set up your file sharing on the Vista machine. I was unable to share until I set the advanced settings for filesharing. Once this was done, I was able to share an entire partition. I am at work now, so only going by memory, but if you still have problems, I can doublecheck my settings at home and repost.

I'm having a similar problem that's driving me nuts. I'm running Vista on one machine (dual boot on separate partition) and XP on another. Both are in the same workgroup. Logged in on both with administrative accounts. Both have Sharing and Security setup for full control to everyone.
When on the XP machine, I can see and download files from the Vista machine, but when I try to put files in the shared folder, I get the access denied prompt. When on the Vista machine, I get a prompt wanting me to login on the XP machine before I can see the shared folders. I've never seen this when sharing XP to XP (or Win2K) On the Vista machine, Network access and public folder are both set to allow "anyone woh can connect to my network" access. I have printer sharing turned off at the moment as there is no printer connected.
What am I missing?
Additional: It shouldn't matter, but the Vista machine is connected via wireless and the XP machine is wired.

I am having a similar problem. Wired Vista PC and a wireless XP machine, but neither can see the other on the network. I'm using the same workgroup name... I ran the wizard twice on each machine. I'm not sure what I'm missing. I set one folder on the Vista machine to share with "everyone" privileges. I have around 5 folders on the XP laptop set to share (these shares are working with another XP box on the network).

That would be correct, because of the security features in Vista. I have several programs that will not write to a drive other than C: because of those same features. When manually moving a file, I get a security alert, click continue, and off it goes. That being said, while I haven't tried it, I believe it may work out to use the Administrator account. And I don't mean an account with admin setting, I mean the account automatically created by Windows with account name "Administrator"
