i have xp desktop and vista laptop. when i set up wireless network between them, i can share internet usage. but, i cant share files and folders. on xp , it shows like shared document and on vista, it shows like public document. when i put some files in these folders from one pc, i cant see them from another one. ive changed my hard disk drive(c) and some other files to shared folders, but its not still working.so, what will be the problem? what settings do i need to change?

change ur network type in vista from public to home or office network and enable file sharing.
