Not too sure what you mean by "use the wireless network with no tweaking needed on the host PC".
I'll assume you mean flawless access to windows XP shared files from the Vista tablet. You might want to disable simple file sharing in that case and authenticate with a "standard" username and password. At least, that's what I would do.
To make it super-easy, use the same exact username and password on BOTH machines. Then, with simple file sharing disabled, auto-access to shared folders is instantly done. Just map a drive to the UNC path you want (you seem savvy, Dan... I'll assume you know what that is for now) and you'll never have to authenticate to the XP box. Going in the reverse direction can be tricky, so I'd advocate accessing the XP box from the tablet.
