I'm running a peer to peer network, with
fifteen computers. I have Vista on my computer,
all others are XP prof.

I can access other computers on the network
through shortcuts or from my network places on
the XP computers, but I can't see anything but
myself when I try to view the workgroup.

Some computers can see everything in the
workgroup while others only see one other
computers.

The network has been working fine for quite
awhile.

Any help would be appreciated.

XP version of Vista Network Utility.

Also make sure the workgroups are all the same name.

An earlier post this week stated they ran the Network Wizard on their XP machine and used the created network disk to configure all of the other machines, inlcuding Vista machines, and they had no issues.
