Saying that though Paul. I can access the files on th XP PC if I connect to it using an ethernet cable going from the Vista Laptop to one of the ports on the router. But I can't access them if I try to access them over the wireless connection. I'm sure how admin rights would matter in this case? It seems to have someting to do with wirless and Vista.

Any other suggestions you have would be welcome though.
