OK, looks like a network permission problem. I guess that you have a shared folder on your vista system?
First have look if you see the vista computer on the network. In a command-line window, type

net view

and check that you see the vista computer.
Then, use the following command line syntax on the XP system :

net use * \\vystacomputername\vistasharedfolder /user:vistauser

Of course you replace "vistacomputername" by the network name of your vista computer, and "vistasharedfolder" is the name of the share on the vista system, and "vistauser" is the name of the vista user.
The system will ask you the password of the vista user, and then you will see an answer like "the Z: disk is now mounted"

i get the System error 1219

also i have disabled password on the Vista Machine... i can view the default Vista shared folders (Public) and open into them, but the folder that i share-enabled can't be accessed although i can see the folder on My Network Places from XP...

it must be some setting that i'm missing...

solved it: all i needed to do was to set the users for the share folder to "Everyone"
