Dunno re Vista, but this is in the network settings properties for XP. Also, you tend to need the "Server" service running if you want to share files.
But I'm guessing firewall... since ping doesn't work, and because I always forget about these new-fangled personal firewall things when doing troubleshooting.

Well, the only applicable firewall is the built-in firewall and I turned that off once I noticed I was having problems.
I can, in fact, ping the XP machine from the Vista machine. So, it can conceivably communicate with the stupid thing; I just can't get any of the shared folders to pop up.
I'll double check my services running--I do occasionally bounce around in there and I very well could have changed a setting....
I'll also check out that Hamachi. It would certainly be better to use that then start from scratch.
Thanks all, I've been doing a bit more research and I'm going to take another look at it when I get home to see if anything sticks.
