In this case, I would check the firewall or any security software first.

Robert L, I am having network issues also. I followed your links and its
advice. I cannot ping my XP computers from my vista machine and everytime I
try to connect it stated it cannot find the computer. The XP computer makes
it out to the internet fine.

I cannot ping the xp computer or the vista machine from the xp machine?.
Did not find any help that would lead me to a conclusing on how to handle
this communication issue.
Thanks
