Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

I had the same problem and in the end it came down to ensuring that
both machines were in the *same* workgroup.

Can you type \\yourvistacomputernamehere and access the machine?
if not you likely have firewall problems..
If so make sure both machines are in the same workgroup.
