847200 2010-01-14 07:05:00 1) which passwords are these
2) if there are passwords how come Vista can access the xp share once the xp computer has accessed the vista machine
3) We are going to go wireless in a few months, aren't passwords kind of essential for that situation?

847201 2010-01-14 07:07:00 passwords are only used for wireless to make it secure. Not to share between computers. Pass to the other question. Passwords where? Speedy Gonzales (78)

In post number 10, you mention passwords, I can't seem to find any (or anywhere I would put any in), so i have a feeling i am looking in the wrong place

847203 2010-01-14 21:48:00 That may apply, IF you use a login and a password to log into windows. That could be / maybe the password, it needs if its asking for one. I dont know, I dont use passwords on any of these. And I'm sharing between XP, Vista and Win 7. (but not on wireless). And just shared the printer last night. So, all 3 can print to it Speedy Gonzales (78)
847204 2010-01-14 22:58:00 The password and protocol discussions are a red herrings. Your problem is Vista not discovering the network shares.

You haven't answered McRuff's questions. Is network discovery ticked in Network and Sharing Center? What settings have you there?
