I cannot seem to get my computer (XP Pro) to appear in the workgroup. I can
see the other computers OK (2 Machines running Vista) but they cannot see me.
I have tried turning off firewall (Comodo Internet Security) but to no avail.
Any idea's would be appreciated.

Can the Vista ping the XP by IP? If yes, can it ping by name? Or check this
search result.
Vista cannot access others
      Vista can't access other computers. Can't browser another XP computer
