Virtual pc does not see other computers on network

I have vista ultimate w/ vp2007 and xp pro virtual machine. when I first set
it up everything worked fine but now the virutal xp pro cannot see the other
computers on the network. It get to the internet fine and the host sees the
other computers fine. Just not the vpc. I am sure it was working because I
setup some software and used the pc name to access the data on the other
machine. Any ideas?

Have you changed anything on the network, specifically the workgroup /
domain name?

Can the VM ping any of the other machines?

Can any of the other machines ping the VM?

Dooh! I swear I tried this before but the network setting was set to
"Shared NAT". Changed to the actual NIC and all is right with the world
again!
