Networking TinyXP with Vista x64

Hey guys

As thread title really

For some reason the network wizard on XP is failing. They are both on "APOC" workgroup and can see eachother (eventually) but trying to double click either machine comes up with an inaccessible message. Both have no firewall. TinyXP is "bare without IE/WMP/OE with driverpacks".

I have shared one of my hard drives on the vista machine which is where all my files etc. are stored. I have tried wireless and via ethernet. I will install windows 7 dual boot on my laptop as i wait for any ideas :P

Ping google, the host and the loopback adapter.

See if anything fails.

When pinging/accessing other computers try the computer name as well as its ip addy.
