I don't think this will make much difference with file sharing though. Can you see the other PC's files when you try to browse them via the IP address (i.e. \\192.168.1.10\ )?

Also Vista (by default) uses a different 'workgroup' this may cause your problems, try checking that they are the same on all PC's (Vista default is WORKGROUP whereas Win XP uses MSHOME)

Hope this helps...
