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: File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vistahttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx Hope it helps.
