For some reason we cant map a drive with teh UNC path with a Vista
Business laptop. You can however map with the IP Address. Also we
can't see any of the other machines in network neighborhood.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Click once on the network icon that should be in the system tray and then
click on network and sharing center. Or, hit start and type network and
sharing center.
