Also have either of these PCs got any version of MacAfee installed? There is an issue with MacAfee preventing home networking which personally I do not know how to resolve. All I know is that if I take MacAfee off and replace it with something else like ESET Avast , or AVG, computers previously unable to network connect fine. I have had this experience on 3 machines now.

With Vista, you can also run into permission difficulties if you have different user names and passwords on the two computers. I do not think XP has that type of security, but the Pro version may have user security.
