Cannot access/ping ipv4 address

Not sure what to think of this. I would assume that vista would be able to
seamlessly handle both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. I have windows vista ultimate
x64 running, and I am attempting to do file/samba sharing with it. I can
access it fine with my laptop through my private network with my Vista Laptop
(Ultimate x86), but I am unable to access the share with another XP machine
(XP Home). What's interesting, is when I ping the machine name from my vista
laptop to it, the name gets resolved to ipv6, and it receives responses.
However, when I use the same machine to ping it using it's ipv4 address, it
receives no responses.

I figure this might be the problem, but the XP machine also has ipv6
installed, and is still not able to resolve the address.

I did install LLTD on the XP machine, so the vista x64 desktop does show up
in the workgroup explorer, but it is not able to connect to it at all. I
figure that it must have something to do with XP unable to resolve computer
names to ipv6??

In any case, it would be nice to still be able to access my vista desktop
with a regular ipv4 address - it's a whole lot easier to remember ;)


Any suggestions or ideas are happily taken, as this problem has been killing
me.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I have tried disabling (unchecking) ipv6 on the nic
properties to no avail as well.
 
Heres the ouput:
