My new Mac cannot find the Vista PC on my home network in Finder. The other machines all see the Mac and the Mac sees XP machines. I can manually login with GO>connect to server> and enter the IP address of the Vista machine, but it is not automatically discovered.
Any ideas?

If I were to hazard a guess I would say they are in different workgroups.

I can't see mine at home either, but I can connect to them. I haven't yet found a way of telling OS X which netbios workgroup it is in. Or at least not one that works reliably.
