I had the same issue with a complete wipe of hard drive, reinstall of XP in
one partition and Vista in another. I no longer could see the other computers
on my network. I went through all the sharing stuff and help files. Tonight,
I found the problem. I have a Netgear FR114P Cable/DSL ProSafe Firewall,
4-port switch. I logged onto my switch and wrote down all my settings for the
other computer IP and MAC addresses. When I logged off, lo and behold, Vista
now saw the other three computers on my network. I set my printer up for
sharing, went to my wife's machine, had her add a printer, found mine,
clicked ok, and printing nirvana.. it works.

Reiterate, it may only require, when not seeing other computers, is to log
onto your router or switch.

Do you have your Vista box configured for the same network group name as
your other systems?

Vista defaults to a network workgroup name of 'Workgroup'
