Vista can't see workgroup computers

[IndyKid]

My Vista computer cannot see the other computers on my home network (can't even PING them) but the Vista computer can access the internet. I have three other XP computers in this workgroup and have created the same user account on the Vista computer and the other XP computer.

How can I get the XP computers to show on Vista's Networking Center?
