Hi:
I have a local network where all xp machines (and even one with win 98) can
see a vista machine, however, nobody can enter into its shared folders. Now,
the vista machine can't see any other computer - probably because we never
set the workgroup, but how to do it?
 
Have you enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP? Or these posts may help,
