Hello,
I have a laptop running Vista Home Premium and I have a network where the main computer runs XP Home SP2. The network is wireless-N, set to public, and not security enabled (Dunno if this relates to anything...) and I cannot access the shared folders on the main computer from the laptop. Any advice?

Thanks

Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 3.0.5

Just what you said---you need to be in private mode to share files
