I have two computers, one on Windows XP and one on Windows Vista. They are both connected to a hub. Also on the hub is my internet modem. Both computers have access to the internet, which is good.
Now I'd like both computers to see each other on the network and to access shared files. That way, I won't have to have duplicate files on each computer or to carry files around on a USB stick from one room to the next. Anyway, that's usually simple, but for some reason it doesn't seem to want to work. My vista computer sees itself in the workgroup but not the XP computer, while the XP computer yesterday saw both computers in the workgroup , but today tells me it does not have the permission to even access the workgroup.
Any advice, or simple walkthrough I could follow?

Right now I believe my main problem is that XP just does not have permission to access the workgroup. Whatever that means. It's my own fucking workgroup, and there are no permissions to access it.
This page explains why you need it.
That solved my problems I was having.
