Networking XP and Vista

I have 3 PC's running Win XP networked thru a router and hardware firewall to the Internet. Just added a Laptop running Vista Business edition. I've gotten the new machine to the point where the XP machines can see and access personal and public folders on the Vista machine, but Vista does not even see the XP machines.

I've turned off all firewall settings I can find on the Vista machine and have turned everything "on" in the Network & Sharing Center. Also, I've turned off everything in my antivirus ap that might affect access. I haven't changed firewall or antivirus settings on the XP machines, since they all worked fine before.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

 
Do they all have the same "workgroup" name, something like Home?

That was what I always forgot to do on a new PC.
