Vista Reboots my XP Pro

when i try to file transfer from my vista computer to my xp pro computer, the
xp pro will shutdown and reboot, even when i try wireless or connected to a
cat5 cable, no differance

i have a home network, 3 computers, on a belkin wireless router

desktop is xp pro with sp2 (wired) (printer installed on desktop)
laptop 1 is vista with all current updates (wireless)
laptop 2 is xp home sp2 (wireless)

the problem i am having is, i can connect to all computers from all
computers, read only
i can transfer files from desktop to both laptops
i can transfer files from laptop 2 to desktop
i can transfer files from desktop to laptop 1 and 2 ( both ways )

i can not transfer files to laptop 1 to the desktop ( vista to xp pro )
i can install a new printer on laptop 1 wireless, and it see's the printer,
but i can not print from laptop 1
i can print from my desktop and my laptop 2, no problem

so the problem is from vista to xp pro, i can not access from vista to xp,
for file transfer or printer, but i can transfer from xp pro to vista

Probably, Laptop 2 has an identical ID/Pass on both itself and the desktop.
Laptop one lacks that. There are ways to setup the system to not need
identical user name/passwords, but that's the easiest.
