other computers can see vista but not vice versa

Hi,
I have a new machine running Vista 5308. It is configured on a workgroup named "MISNET". All machines in my home are on this workgroup, and are homed on a NAT router.
I've shared the C: drive on the Vista PC, and I can get to that C: drive from other machines on my home network (Win2K and WinXP).
However, from the Vista PC itself, I cannot "see" any of the other machines in the workgroup. I've tried Network Map, Network List, etc., but they show nothing.
Network map just shows:
Vista PC -> gateway (my router) -> Internet
No other machines appear.
What else do I have to do so that I can browse my home network, similar to Network Neighborhood?
Thanks, Jim

I've found, that on ordinary workgroups that the \\computername works fine to access other computers, however once you put a Windows Server 2003 in there, for the first few restarts of the server you can only access computers via IP address...

Hi,
Most of the "other" PCs in my workgroup are Win2K or Win2K server, with no firewalls running on them. I can browse (see) the various PCs among those.
To be clear: On the new Vista PC, I can do a "map drive" to a drive that I've shared out on another non-Vista PC. And, the Vista PC shows up in Network Neighborhood or My Network Places on my other PCs.
What I asking about is why I can't "see" or "browse" the other non-Vista PCs FROM the Vista PC. For example, when I go to Network Map or Network List, shouldn't those show all of the PCs on my workgroup, ala "Entire Network"?

IIRC, Win2k will allow "browsing" in only if the login (name and pw) you're using on the client is defined as an account on the Win2k "server" machine, or the "Guest" account is enabled. The same goes with XP, in fact, unless you've enabled "simple file sharing", which is unavailable on Win2k. -- Pierre Szwarc Paris, France PGP key ID 0x75B5779B ------------------------------------------------ Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom ! ------------------------------------------------

It's because the Windows Server 2003 machine becomes the browser master for that workgroup (or domain) - it has a higher number when browser elections are held -- until it updates it's browse list you're going to see that sort of behavior.
I usually have all my client computers dynamically update DNS with the server and let DNS handle that resolution

I think thats the only way of doing it at the moment, thorugh the manual browsing. Remember networking is one of the sections haveing extensive stuff done to it so it will be a work in progress for quite a while i woudl have thought.

There were a bunch of issues which were fixed in browser post 5308. Please upgrade to the latest version and report if you are having these issues with a later build.
