This TCP/IP Home Networking and File Sharing Tutorial should get you started.

For the differences in Vista for file sharing, see this File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista description.

as for the Windows Vista, i followed up the insurrections and it's all setup right.
as for the Windows XP i went on the link you gave me and after I "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" i restart the computer and got an Error message saying "Dublicate name on the Network"- what should i do???

You have more than one computer with the same computer name. Change one of the computer names.
