RE: Cant access computers on the network

I have 2 Vista computers and 3 XP computers and a Xerox IP printer. All 3
XP's work fine. One Vista works fine (can see all 3 XPs). The other Vista
can see only the Internet (It shows the router on the map, but none of the
information that is displayed by the Vista that works). It however can ping
everything. I've gone through all the trouble shooters, I've compared every
network and firewall setting I can find between the two Vista's the second
simply cannot access anyting on the network. It can't even see the IP
printer when I manually give it the IP address. I've installed the LLTD on
one XP computer, but it isn't necessary for the one that works and doesn't
help the one that does??!!?!?!!!!!

None of the network diagnostics "find" any issues. Furstrating doesn't
begin to describe it. I haven't had this much problem networking a Windows
computer since before Windows for Workgroups.

Any ideas what else to try?
