Vista Home premium 32bit.
 
 

Not able to "see" other computers on network.

I have three computers. Two run Vista Home premium 32bit, and one is running win xp. I've got a wireless network running on a netgear wireless N router. They all are successfully able to access the internet, and the shared printer, but I can't seem to get them to show up as computers with drives that are shared via the network. I've done a network before, (wired), and was able to see each computer on the network, as well as access any of the drives I had set a share-able. No matter what I try with these three, I've not been successful. Help?

Have you checked your firewalls to make sure they are allowing access ?
