Need help with Vista on wireless network

I hope someone here can help me. I've read most of the posts here but am
still having a problem.

I have a small office network set up with a Linksys WRT54GS router, a desk
top with XP wired to router, laptop with XP wireless to router, and laptop
with vista wireless to router.

Each unit has a working internet connection but I need to share files and
printer on XP laptop with Vista laptop. I have downloaded and installed LLTD
for XP unit.

I have set up file and print sharing on XP laptop and set it as server. The
Vista laptop will see XP laptop when I click on "View full map" but will not
open files.

The desk top unit running XP will open files and print on the XP laptop but
not the Vista laptop.

I need the Vista laptop to open and view files on the XP laptop
any help ??

Hi
I do not know what it means: "I have set up file and print sharing on XP
laptop and set it as server".
On a peer-to- peer network all computers are equal and if the sharing is
configured correctly it should be available to all other computers on the
network.
Successful Sharing involves some general considerations in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
