Connecting to a workgroup

I am trying to connect by new Vista Home Basic computer to an existing
workgroup. I cannot see any of the other computers on the workgroup from the
new computer. I know I have the correct workgroup name because I am able to
see the new computer from the other existing computers. Any suggestions?

Re: Connecting to a workgroup

Have you run the network configuration wizard on your Vista PC? If not it's
probably not set up to allow file and printer sharing and discovery.
