I remembered after installing SP2 that it did so and given the nature of the problem, permissions were one of the first things I checked. I've been over them a number of times and I don't see anything wrong with them.
Of course, it could be just staring me in the face as I can be a great big idiot when it comes to the bones of troubleshooting networks.
thanks, Xeph. Keep 'em coming. I loathe to have to start over from scratch with a fresh install, but that's a bit of work and I'm not even sure it would solve the problem.
EDIT: I should note that I can't "see" the Vista machine from the XP machine either. After re-reading my OP, I realize I failed to mention that. It's like the XP machine is there as I can ping it, but it's invisible.
