I have three PC's networked via a Router - two running Vista Ultimate,
and one running Windows XP.

If i have all three machines running then all have access to Internet
and all have full networking capability between machines.

If I switch the XP Machine off - then both Vista PC's have access to
the Internet - but lose all networking capability between each other.

Anyone have any ideas

My first guess is that the XP had become the master browser. You can
adjust settings:

I tried this and it did not solve the problem.

Also if I just have the two Vista PC's on - niether can see each other
on the Network - so my only solution at present is to have the XP
Machine also on - as then all PC's can see each other.
