As I earlier mentioned I have one system running windows XP and another running vista. Now when I set up the network and access internet everything works fine.

When I share any file from XP system, from Vista, its accessible. But when I am sharing anything from Vista then its visible in Network Places folder in XP system but not accessible!

Both the system are in same work group with File & Printer sharing turned on!

Any help guys?
And as I mentioned both of them are in same work group and file and printer sharing is turned on!

I have assigned them IP as 192.168.1.21 and 192.168.1.22. Also defined their DNS server IP.

Any idea?

you are saying that its going to be allocated with some IP but I should let them acquire their IP automatically and also the DNS server IP?
So it means for both the cases IP will be obtained automatically?
I see from your other posts that you have given static IP addresses to your PC and laptop. This is also fine but I prefer automatic IP addresses that are given by the DHCP server inside the router.

Regarding your other problem about file access allowed from Vista to XP and not vice versa, I am not sure why. But I did face this problem even with XP to XP; but that was because domains of the two computers were different. Try google search for the problem.

Default Try checking permissions
In vista check the permissions (for users) for the folder u wish to share. It must be set to Everyone or to the specific user of the computer u wish to share with.

Also in vista check the network and sharing centre for password sharing.
In my point of view for two computers no need to enable it.

My bad.

I found the solution already just forgot to post.
Considering you are sharing files between two system one having XP another Vista and you are trying to copy some file from your vista system which is little tricky, here are the steps:
  1. Ensure that both the system are in same work-group.
  2. Both the system should have unique name.
  3. Network location type for Vista should be private.
  4. Network discovery should be ON for Vista system.
  5. File sharing should be ON for both the system.
  6. Add an exception in windows firewall for file sharing in Vista.
  7. Turn password protection off in Vista for all practical purposes.
  8. Activate guest account in Vista system.
  9. Share the folder in Vista system and give the required (can be reader or owner or etc depending on your requirement!) permission to Guest user.
  10. And voila!

You'll be able to see the folder in your Network places in XP system.

In case of any difficulties or further help check this tutorial.

Hope it helps.
