Vista & XP Sharing

I have a home network with a LINKSYS router.

I have two machines directly connected to the router: one is running XP and
one is running Vista.

Other machines in the house use wireless.

All the machines are in the same workgroup.

I can access XP machines from Vista but I can't access Vista resources from
XP machines.

This is particularly bad since I have my printer installed on Vista-- it
used to be on XP and everything was fine.

The printer is shared.

What else is needed?
 
What version of vista? Does the vista machine have password required for
printer sharing?
 
How are you able to see xp machine from vista? Can you explain the steps? I
can see vista machine from xp.
 
I am running Vista Home Premium.

There is no password requirement on the machine for printer sharing.
 
I followed all the directions specified for networking. I think the key one
was changing the XP workgroup to match Vista's needs.

Hope this helps!
