Hi Carlos,

There are Vista specific issues:
# Set the Network Location Type to "Private". This implies that your computers
are secure, behind a perimeter firewall or a NAT router, and opens the personal
firewall for file sharing.

And then general Windows Networking issues:
# Make sure that NetBT is Enabled consistently.
# Make sure that any third party firewalls are properly setup.
# Make sure that name resolution is consistently setup.

If you have WiFi computers involved, you'll possibly have a master browser
conflict. Look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer, and
diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
