XP vista

My vista pc can no longer see the xp machines on the network. When I
orginally installed vista it could then the xp machines disappeared. I've
disabled all the av and firewall software to no affect. I can ping the
computers. And the vista machine can even see the media share files on the xp
machine. The Xp machines can see each other and swap file no problem. I
installed network macig to see what would happen it can see all the PC's but
can't share anyfiles.
