Help! My Vista PC's can't see each other

Here is my setup.

I have 2 PC's hardwired into a Linksys Router
I have 2 laptop connecting via wireless thru the same router.

2 of the PC's and one of the laptops are running Vista Home Premium

The other laptop is running Vista Home Basic

Previously all 4 machines were running XP Pro and able to see each other.

They are all members of the same workgroup, but when I try to connect to or map a drive from one machine to the other I get an error message saying that whatever machine I'm trying to connect to is unavailable.

When I look in the Vista Network Sharing Center, or whatever it is called, and do a network map all the machines show up as being connected thru the router.

Help!!!
