File Sharing between WinXP and Vista

Guys,

I am having trouble file sharing over a network between a Windows XP machine and a Vista machine.

I have previously succeeded when sharing between 2 WinXP machines.

My workgroup name is the same on both machines.

Vista has file sharing enabled.

I have shared some folders on each machine.

On the respective machines I can see the folders I have 'shared.' but not actually on the other.

On my WinXP machine I can see the Vista machine name listed under my workgroup but it claims I do not have access to view anything within.

I also tried RDPing to the Vista machine but it wasn't found.

All of the above is true regardless of whether I use my Linksys ethernet router or my Sitecom wireless router (either as wireless or ethernet).

As many ideas as possible please - I've only been using Vista since Friday....Surprise(
