I have a similar problem.

When I first installed Vista I could see my XP PC and browse it, and I could
see the Vista PC from the XP one and browse it (although I had to enter the
Vista Admin password first.

Suddenly on re-boot this morning I cannot see the XP PC in Vista 'Network'
(but it appears in the Map), and although I can see the Vista one in XP it
will not allow me to connect.

I checked all the settings and they are as the MS help file suggests.

Can anyone explain how MS have set up this obscurely problematic networking
and what the problem might be?

(I can't imagine how the average home user is going to wade through the
complexities of Vista networking for their multiple PC home network).
