Ive set up the sharing on the folders i want to share on both the laptop
and the PC and all are visible on the PC and laptop however when i click
on a folder is says:

\\\john\my Documents is not accesible. You might not have permission to
use this netowrk resources. Access is denied.

I am the only user on the PC and laptop.

any help appreciated

Are you using the same workgroup name, user name and password on each
machine?

Do you have the problem "in both directions" - i.e. from the XP box to the
Vista box and vice versa or is it just one machine with the problem?
