XP sees Vista, Vista doesn't see XP or Novell 3.12 Server

[herrslime]

I can search for the Vista machine (Home Premium) and it shows up fine and I can get access to the public folders.

On the Vista machine, in the Network and Sharing Center I can see my Vista computer and my Linksys Internet router (BEFSR41)but I do not see my Linksys hub where all my computers are connected (EF4116) nor any of my 6 XP pro computers or my Novell 3.12 server. Local network is set to Private and I have Local and Internet Access.

The Vista machine is a new addition. Everything else works fine. Server is used for data storage/sharing.

I have downloaded/installed the Novell Client for Vista Beta 1.0 Beta 3 (20070622) but cannot login to the server since I cannot "see" it.

Thanks for any help!
