RE: Computers not showing up on network

Have a good read of the above link.

And,make sure ALL computers have the same workgroup name.
As well, in Vista Network and Sharing, make sure you have
Network set to private
Network discovery ON, to see other computers!
File Sharing ON
Public folder sharing ON (public in vista is the same as shared docs in xp)
Password protected OFF, unless you want to set up same name accounts on all
computers.

I don't use playstation, but try "Add network device" in vista network and
sharing.
