Ok, I have 2 Vista PCs, one is my Media Center sitting under my LCD, they are networked. The Media Center is vLited as per below. I can connect from the vLited build to my desktop and copy files. But I cant do the reverse, from my desktop I cant access shared folders on my vLited Media Center Vista PC which otherwise works fine.

I can view the Network And Sharing Center area fine on both PCs. Folders are shared on both PCs, but I simply cant view stuff on my vLited PC from my other one despite using the proper username and password, I cant even see the shares on that PC. What have I screwed up?
