Computers not showing up on network

I got a computer that has Vista preinstalled and I am trying to access the other computers on my home network. But the problem is that not a single computer on my network is showing up on the network list? I have disabled the firewall already and all connections are secured. Can anyone please help me with this issue? Thanks.

Can you tell us whether the network type that you are using is Public, Private, Work, or Unidentified type?

The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In Windows® XP Home Edition, the default workgroup name is MSHOME. If you upgrade a computer running Windows XP Home Edition to Windows Vista, it will keep its existing workgroup name. However, new computers with Windows Vista can have a different workgroup name than the other computers on your network. With different workgroups, it takes more time and effort to view all of the computers on the network. Check for more suggestions here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/l.../bb727037.aspx
