by connecting them ,with these parameters
vista- IP address: 10.1.1.1
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 10.1.1.2

XP-IP address: 10.1.1.2
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 10.1.1.1

note - the same domain (workgroup) and network in vista is seted as privat

in the result vista can see the sshared file of xp ,but xp can`t see the shared file of vista .
note also. that when entring in network envirement in xp ,by browsing it .appear the computer (vista ) but by clicking in it ...appear message you have`nt permission

Open the Security tab of the shared resource in Vista, assign file/folder permissions as needed. Also check for password protection (if any).

Why do You have two different default gateways....

Are you using a router?

no just a crossover cable between two computers

On vista, under network and sharing center, is file sharing turned on? if so expand it and check the other options within.
Because you can share files without the public folders being on - and with us not knowing where you put your file....

pardon my ignorance but if you are using a cross over cable, do you need a gateway? i thought gateway was for routers.

if so, that may be your problem.

i have my two desktops connected with a network cable and i have assigned them a static IP without a gateway and do not have a problem.

On Vista PC check that "Password Protected sharing" is set to OFF.
