Question
Vista can see Vista, but can't see XP machines

I can't figure this out for the life of me.

Built the wifes new system with Vista 64 ( Home premium ) and have it hooked up ( wired ) to our router/dsl. Same with 2 XP machines with service pack 3. I have an XP laptop wireless and currently have a Vista Laptop wireless going on. The Vista Laptop can see the whole darn network. Vista 64 can only see the Vista laptop...nothing else.

What have I not enabled on this 64 bit machine that I need to do to it? I can search for the XP machines by name and find them and the shared files, but that is the only way to find them. Problem is, I want to be able to print off the XP machines printers from the Vista 64 machine.

seriously, wtf? I don't know Vista very well, I'll admit that-but it's a heckuva OS as far as setting itself up.
