I have two computers on my network - one Vista laptop and one XP desktop.
They are networked thru a secure wireless router.
From the Vista I can access the XP files and printer.
When I try to access the files from the XP to the Vista, it asks for a User & password.

Where, on my Vista, can I find that User ID and password? My computer isn't passworded, so I don't know where to look.

Have you set Vista to share .. ? XP did not require this.
also a nice link on "How to make XP and Vista Play nice together".
