Vista has a different default name for a home network. XP defaults to MSHOME. Go to your network settings and change the name of your network to MSHOME, I’ll bet it works.

first enable file sharing on the other pc’s…then look into your network neighborhood. there you should find the Microsoft windows network. view all network. that is the simplest way. also check to see that your router allows it. a firewall could block computers on the same switch from seeing each other.
