| | RE: Computers not showing up on network http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/l.../bb727037.aspx Have a good read of the above link. And,make sure ALL computers have the same workgroup name. As well, in Vista Network and Sharing, make sure you have Network set to private Network discovery ON, to see other computers! File Sharing ON Public folder sharing ON (public in vista is the same as shared docs in xp) Password protected OFF, unless you want to set up same name accounts on all computers. I don't use playstation, but try "Add network device" in vista network and sharing.
