How do I access shared folders/files on Vista PC from XP based PC's.
I have installed Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder on each of
the XP based systems. The systems do show up on the network map on the
Vista PC. My question is simple, how do I actually access the shared folders/files
on the XP system from my Vista PC? I have network discovery, file, and media
sharing turned on. I can see the Vista PC from the XP PC's and as I said the XP
PC's show up on the Vista Network Map. When I open Network on the Vista PC
the only computer listed is the Vista PC. They all have the same Workgroup name
and I do have the Vista PC setup with the Private setting.
Any help would be appreciated

if you have shared drive on the pc's try mapping a drive to them.

On XP
From Windows Explorer
Tools menu
Map network drive
in the folder box type \\<computername>\<shared folder>
where <computername> = the remote computer name
and <shared folder> = the shared folder

Vista will do some thing very similar.

or go to the command prompt and type:
net use * \\<computername>\<shared folder>

this will also map a drive letter to the shared folder
