Windows 7 - Vista VPN to XP Pro

There are a multitude of Vista networking issues out there, and I
haven't yet found a solution for this one...

I have a home network with 2 Vista machines and 2 XP Pro machines on
in a common workgroup. All is well here, the machines can see each
other on the network and access each other via NetBios name.

I have a VPN connection to my office as well, which I use either from
a Vista machine (ethernet), or one of the XP Pro machines (wireless).
If I VPN via the XP Pro machine, I am able to access remote computers
by their machine name (\\somecomputer), while on the Vista machine, I
must use the machine's IP address.

NetBios over TCP/IP is enabled for the VPN connection on the Vista
machine. Are there any other simple network settings that I'm
overlooking?

Network Vista to XP - Access Denied only Vista to XP Windows 7 Hi, I believe I've exhausted most of the suggestions in this forum to recap the system details and the efforts to network as of now. Problem: The Vista machine sees the XP machine; but, when I try to expand the XP machine by double-clicking on it, I get an error message that the XP machine is not accessible and that access is denied (immediately). If, however, I look at

Vista crashes Win 98 Windows 7 I wonder if anyone has actually managed to get Vista and Win98 to share files with each other. I have a Win98 peer-to-peer with 2 win98 machines and their associated printers. I have not had any problem getting Vista (or even a visiting Mac machine) to see and access the shared folders on the machine gets "access denied". When right or left clicking on either of the other two Vista folders Win98 immediately freezes and requires a cold reboot to recover. ( The problems are common to both Win98 machines.) I've read the Microsoft "File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista" article (vista_fp) and most of the Nitecruzr articles as well. As a result I've tried the following: 1) Checked firewalls ( there are none on 98 and on Vista the NetBIOS and SMB ports are all open by default for private networks). 2) Made sure the c drive" folder but it is listed in the "share" tab.) 3)Tried sharing the Vista folders with "full control" since Tim (above) said it solved his problem, although he was
