After significant frustration due to the added security issues in VISTA, I found networking to XP machines very easy with 3rd party software........just took minutes!....Try it!.....effective and reliable, and does not slow down your pc.......:smileywink:

This software also networked my printer, which I understand can also be a problem in Vista.
