I have a 3 computer network all running Windows XP and a new computer
running Vista - the Vista computer can talk to the other computers running
XP but the ones running XP cannot talk to Vista - how can I correct this
problem? All help will be greatly appreciated.

Go into the Network and Sharing Center and turn off password protected
sharing.
 
But turn on everything else there.

i had the same problem but i only had 2 computers running windows xp. the way
i had to sor the problem out was by disconeecting of hte internet , so i
could disable my firewall. i then had to go through the vista networking
centre. i had to make a lot of changes to workgroups and discoverable
settings. i have now setup my network but the only problem i have is that i
cannot share an internet connection.all other stuff includings Windows media
file sharing and file sharing " shared document" now works. the only way i
can connect through my other pcs is by creating a resedatial gateway, however
this does not seem to always work.
 
Thank you for all the replies but, unfortunately it has not solved my
problem to include not being able to use printer attached to the Vista
computer as far as I can tell this is a problem that has not been soved by
the OS manufacturer and who knows when?

do you mean that you cant see the printer through the network . i have just
shared my printer. altohugh the only way i can see the printer on other pcs
is by exploring he workgroup pcs.
 
correct, cannot see the printer through the network and have been told that
this problem has not been solved - Vista is great but??????
