Vista PCs not showing up in Network Places under XP

[Zucarita9000]

So, If I browse Network Places from an XP or Win 2003 machine, I can 18 computers. If I do the same from a Vista box or from one of our Windows 2008 servers, I can see all 24. What's up with that? Has anyone seen this before?

How are you doing name resolution? That's normally the cause of all network neighborhood problems.

I used the patch below sometime back to fix what sounds like the same problem. Thanks to JackMDS for the link.

This is a common annoyance with Vista. Can you see them if you browse the Windows Network > <workgroup name>? If you have set all your machines to be part of the same workgroup, the Vista machines should be discoverable by XP. If they aren't part of the workgroup, they should still be visible if you climb up through the Networking tree.

FWIW, LLTD Transponder has nothing to do with the visibility of Vista machines to XP browsing clients.

Sorry for the lack of information. We have a Windows 2003 domain and all PCs are part of it. It's just weird that I can't see some Vista machines from XP/2003 but they are visible from Vista/2008

make sure browser service is up and pointed to the correct domain master browser, and enable wins
