1) Check the firewall settings on XP.

2) Is Vision up to date?

3) Bring up the share in file explorer, tools -> folder options ->
View,
Uncheck "Use simple file sharing". The go up one level, right click
and
choose "Sharing and Security". Check the user permissions.

First, is this XP Pro or XP Home? If it is XP Home, you can stop now;
it will not work.

Check VisionFS for the type of password it is using: plain text or
encrypted. If it is plain text, you will have to change XP to use
plain text passwords (google for directions on how to do this). If it
is encrpyted, check to see that XP is not using plain text, and set a
network password in XP accrodingly.

I had to make the changes outlined in
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....460289a3da771d
to make VisionFS/XP "play nice".

To my knowledge this will only work with VisionFS 3.10.9xx (or
higher?)
