Default Vista Can No Longer See Any PCs in WorkGroup Folder


This was working a couple of days ago and now it is not.
I suspect a nice friendly update from MS is the cause and
I have a sneaky suspicion this is intentional by MS to
1) force/drive people to up or rather downgrade to Vista and exclude all
other OSes
2) Isolate other OSes...
3) Weed out boot leg copies of older versions of Windows

I'm beginning to wonder with all the comments in this group
alone that perhaps someone should call MS to task for breaking
was was once working.

Anyway my situation which worked perfectly until I introduced Vista

I have a mixture of Vista, 98, XP, Ubuntu and RedHat
I can not see any PCs in my Vista work group network folder other this
the Vista PC and Linksys router.
I can do run - \\192.168.0.2 to see my RedHat with Samba
but it still wont appear in my network folder so I can't
access the printer attached to RedHat.

I do have set
on : Network Discovery, File Sharing and Public Folder Sharing
off : Password protected, Media sharing and IPv6 even though IPv6 shows
up with ipconfig /all

I've un installed Norton with the same results so that's not it either.

Below is my ipconfig details.

Any help to resolve this is appreciated.
