You are probably going to have to ask a group which knows more about Vista. I would not bother with IP Release/Renew. It is more a Vista issue than a network issue. As long as you are on the same network and the same workgroup you SHOULD see the other computers in that group and on that network. Because you cannot, it is something specific to Vista, and those computers running Vista. When you say you have sharing turned on, is that on the Vista computer? If not, it has to be enabled there as well.
