Hi Whitetiger20013,
Before we go further, please perform the following steps to check if you can access the share folders on Windows Vista computer from the Windows XP computer? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. On the Windows XP machine, click Start, type \\<IP_address_of_a_Vista_machine>\<share_folder>, and press Enter.
2. Confirm if you can access the share folder. If any error is received, please capture a screenshot of the error message for further research.
In addition, Ive included the following article for your reference. It is useful when configuring file sharing in Windows Vista:

Hope it helps.
Sincerely,
