Vista - Vista x64 Business can not discover XP/2003 machines on the network

Hi,

Just got a new machine with Windows Vista x64 business. I have two of
these machines on my network along with a bunch of XP/2003. The newest
Vista machine does not see or recognize the XP/2003 machines. It
discovers vista machine ok. The second Vista machine discovered all
the machines! is there a setting in the new machine which I am
missing. Network configuraion appears to be OK. any ideas?

Have you made sure that the new machine is in the same workgroup as the
other machines?

yes, they are both in the "WorkGroup" interesting enough is that the
machine I am having problem with can see the other vista but not the
XP/2003 machines and on both vista machines DNS is pointing to my ISP'
DNS
