I have tried a bunch of changes to get my Vista to display the other
computers and devices. Finally, discovered that it was firewall conflicy
between Windows firewall and Norton firewall that is blocking the network
communication.
After disabling the Noton's firewall, all the other computer on my network
appeared.
Try it and hopefully it works for you too...Good Luck.
