workgroup problem

[Roraz]

I have four computers in the house

2 computers - my main one which is cabled to a linksys wireless adsl
gateway, and the other which is wireless enabled
2 laptops - one xp and one powerbook, both wireless enabled

all my computers on the network (including the mac) are showing in the
workgroup (mshome) listing except the cabled system (my main
computer).

the others are all connected to each other just fine, and can access
each other

i know theres not a connection problem as i can ping the main machine
from all the other computers, plus access the net on the machine
(through the cabled gateway).

I don't know why the main computer isn't showing up in the workgroup??

its starting to drive me nuts

Ive run the network wizard/enabled file sharing on the main machine,
checked that the main machine was in the workgroup?

At Some point today for some fluke reason the main machine turned up
in the other computers listings, and I could access its files from
them. I don't know what I did (if anything) but it seems to have
dissappeared.

the other xp machines and the Mac were easy, they just showed up in
the workgroup automatically, but the main machine is being a pain in
the a**

is there anything I need to check/do to get my main machine in the
workgroup listings for the other computers? any help would be
appreciated
