XP not talking to Vista

I glad that it work for you too and you are rigth it is weird. I am not sure
if this is a "bug" of windows Vista or maybe they are trying to make Windows
Vista more secure, I meant now you must share the computer and ALSO you must
especify the name of the user accesing such computer(or put everybody and
anybody will have access from that computer).

I have the same problem with us. I have 5 PC HP in network, 4 with windows
Vista and one with Windows XP. I defined a router Linksys WRT54G, simple, it
not have firewall. I defined a new network 192.168.3.1 for the 5 PC. When I
try to send a Ping from the PC with Windows XP to PC with Windows Vista, the
Ping response correctly, but when I will tried to send a ping from the PC
with Windows Vista to PC with windows XP, the Ping response correctly. the
network go from 192.168.3.101 to 192.168.3.105 the mask in the network is
255.255.255.0 the gateway is 192.168.3.1 The router not have a firewall, and
I don't now the PC with Windows XP not make a ping to PC with windows Vista.

One people recomended delete the service protocol IPV6 in windows vista to
comunicate the PC with XP to the PC with Windows Vista. But this function
can not delete because the windows vista not habilitated the buttom to delete
this function.

Do you know any solution to this problem, please, I need a solution as soon
as posible, Thansk you.
