Please check, make sure both computer does not have same computer name.
If not make usre both computer has a same workgroup.
If both settings are right, then make sure you have ran a network wizard on xp machine and network sharing on vista computer.
Make sure file sharing and resource sharing is on on both the computers.

You might want to check the router's logs and reset your router just in case.

Cheers
