Networking Vista to XP

Hi, guys!  I'm in desperate need of help.

 

Just purchased a new Dell Inspiron 530 desktop & now having networking issues.  I have 3 other XP computers seeing each other in the network but cannot see my new Vista computer, & vice versa - Vista cannot see all other 3 XPs.

 

Technical support can't help!  Referred me to Dell-On-Call where I have to pay!!!!  So unfair!

 

What do I do?  Someone, pls. help me....  Thanks.

Have you configured any third party firewalls (Norton, McAfee, Zone Alarm, etc.) to allow local network connections?
