viewing my own computer in the workgroup

[Guest]

I have one pc (XP SP2) hooked up to a wireless router, connected to a cable
modem.
I have Microsoft Virtual PC installed running windows 2000.
I can see the virtual pc in the workgroup from the virtual pc.
I cannot access the workgroup using the host pc.
How do I setup the host pc so that I can see it in the workgroup list.

p.s. I can ping the host from the virtual pc and the virtual pc from the host.

assuming you can ping the host name, it could be computer browser issue. any
errors in the event viewer?
