XP Does not detect Vista-hosted LAN Games

I've tried everything I can think of; disabling IPv6, LLTD, installing the
LLTD patch on xp, turning off all firewalls, file sharing, etc.. Nothing
seems to work.

I'll start a listen game server on the vista computer because it's mine and
it's much more powerful than the XP computer. When I try to find a server on
the LAN browser, nothing come up. If I host from the XP machine, the Vista
one can see and connect to the XP's server. However, this method costs frames
and gameplay, so hosting a game on the Vista computer is the more viable
idea. This happens in every game.

What could I do to fix this?
 
Have you enabled sharing on Vista? Can you ping it by IP? Or check this

folder, ... Cases: Can't share between Vista and XP ... Both Vista and XP
have been enabled the file ...

Sharing is enabled on the Vista machine. I can ping and access shared folders
both ways, but I can't host any LAN games on the Vista machine so that the XP
machine can join.
