I just found that if I add a new 'network location' [\\computername\shareddocs\] under 'computer in the start menu' on the vista I can access that file from 'computer' but not trough 'network' ?

Both XP's have home

I just bought a vista laptop and i can't get it to access the shared files on my XP desktop. The desktop can access the public folder on the vista laptop and on another XP laptop. The printer , connected to the XP desktop, is available to all machines. The XP laptop has no problem accessing shared files on the XP desktop , and the vista can access the shared files on the XP laptop. The desktop is connected directly to a wireless router both laptops are wireless. I've tried everything I've found in other forums, nothings helped! Windows firewall is off. Any help would be great.
