unable see other pcs the network map

Anyone else having this issue? I'm guessing the problem is that the other networked PCs in my house are running XP and don't have this Discovery thing going... but usually any windows computer is fairly friendly to other networked windows computers.
I can connect to the other PCs using \\<name\ ... but it'd be nice to see them in the Network List :)

Check your workgroup setting. I noticed that during setup there is no option to set this to what you want so it defaults to WORKGROUP. This is still changed in My Computer properties as it has been.

I've changed to the normal workgroup and restarted, but I'm still not seeing anything. If I boot into XP though, all is well. What else might be going wrong?
