I'm lost on this problem.
I have 3 PC's on a network, 2 Vista and one XP.
From my PC (Vista), I can see see the other 2.
From my wife's PC (Vista), I can see the other 2.
From my XP PC, I can see my wife's PC, but not mine.
As far as I know, my wife's and mine are set up the same way, as to permissions and sharing.

Any idea's what is blocking the XP machine from seeing my PC?

I solved this.:celebrate
For some reason, the XP PC needed to be have the folders I wanted to share from my Vista PC added in XP's Network Places. I didn't have to do that for that my wife's Vista PC. :confused
I still don't know why the XP one could see and share with her's but not mine. :banghead

Anyway, on the XP machine, I went to "My Network Places",
choose "Add a network place".,
which brought up the "Add Network Place Wizard".
I followed the prompts and when I got to "Where do you want to create this network place",
I choose "Choose another network location. There I added the network location on my Vista PC.
My folder address looked like this: \\Don-HP\Music

I hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. :)
It has been bugging me for months.Now I can uninstall Network Magic and kill off a couple of processes.
