Vista - Discovery doesn't seem to be working

Discovery doesn't seem to be working

I have a small 2 computer system consisting of a MacBook Pro and Vista x64.

Everything works just fine so it isn't a firewall issue or a router issue. For some reason my Vista x64, even though Discovery is turned on, it doesn't broadcast it's existence. I have to manually connect to it's shares from the Mac by "Connecting to Server". The Vista PC will not show up in the Mac Finder. But, when taking the Mac to my work place all PCs including Vista PCs show up fine. Something is wrong with the Vista PC on a 2 computer network, so it seems. Any ideas to make Vista broadcast it's existence or make sure it is actually running?
