Coneccting Windows Vista -->Server 2003 SBS

[Guest]

Hi, I have a problem. I have a Windows Server 2003 SBS, and computers with
XP, these computers can acces to te server without probles, the Workgroup of
the server is HOME, and the workgroup in the PC's is AFN but now, we have a
new PC with Windows Vista Home Premium since a couple of months ago. When the
computer arrives we connect it to the hub and can see all the computers in
the network even the server, but now I can see all the pc's with XP but I
cant see the server. Does anybody why its happening this??
I will apreciate your help, because I have trying everything and reading a
lot of web pages.
P.D. The workgroup in the pc with vista is AFN too, only the server belongs
to workgroup HOGAR.

Can you ping the server? If yes, it could be the Name resolution issue.

computer have installed the program from logmein.com, and by other side its
installed MCAfee antivirus and in one of the options I can see the I.P.
