    Re: sharing vista documents

    1. Go to your xp pc.

    2. Run the set up a home network wizard.

    3. When you get to select a network connection method select the second option.

    4. At your workgroup name you most ensure that the name you select maches the rest of your network, all pc's most share the same workgroup name.

    5. On file and printing sharing select turn on.

    6. Then next until you finish. Note: you do not have to run the wizard on the other computers, just click finish.

    When you complete these steps go to your vista pc and open your network if you see the xp pc click on it.

    You are done.
