Can't access Vista PC on home network

I have just added a Vista PC to my home network.

I have changed some folders including the Documents folder on the
Vista system to enable file sharing and allowed everyone full control
(via advanced sharing/share permissions).

When I go the Vista system from either of the 2 XP Pro systems I get
the message "\\Mary is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use this resource."

The Vista PC is set to Private network and all PCs are set to the same
Workgroup name (WORKGROUP). The IP address range of all PCs are
allowed in Zonealarm (If I switch Zonealarm off and run without a
firewall I still have the problem). All the PCs connect to the
internet OK.

I can't see anything I have missed.

I never had this problem on XP when adding other PCs to the network.

Any help appreciated

I know! I didn't see the other group until after I posted in this one.

Mary, the point is that you should not post the same question
separately to two or more groups. Here's my standard message on
Multiposting:

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so
just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup
doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for
those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they
see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only
once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's
time, and gets you poorer help than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across
multiple newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
