Thanks for all the replies.
I did some more digging in my router and it turns it it was the culprit.
I was restricting access to the LAN via MAC Address and for some reason it
wasn't allowing the Vista Machine to see the LAN even though it's MAC Address
was listed in the allowable group. I disabled the MAC Address filtering and
all is working fine.
