Vista Ultimate Networking Problem

We are running two Dell computers in our office, each using Vista Ultimate. They are on the same workgroup, and I can see both computers on the network. However, when I attempt to access either computer from the other one, I get this message:

Error code: 0x80070005
Access is denied.

I have no problem accessing the XP machines that are on the same network from the Vista machines. Network discovery/file sharing/printer sharing/public folder sharing are on. Password protection is off. Advanced permissions show that everyone is allowed. We use AVG for antivirus, and we have a D-Link router.

I'm sure it's some simple thing I'm overlooking. Any suggestions?

No. The Vista can access the XP machines, but not vice versa.

OK, looks like a firewall issue; Which firewall are you using?
On the default Windows FW, click the Exceptions TAB and enable Print/File sharing.
 
The Windows firewall is turned off on both machines, because I believe the router has a firewall built in.
