Default Can't map using UNC

For some reason we cant map a drive with teh UNC path with a Vista

can't see any of the other machines in network neighborhood.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Click once on the network icon that should be in the system tray and then
click on network and sharing center. Or, hit start and type network and
sharing center.
