As you can see from the title, why can't my windows 7 computers see my cousin's windows vista computer in our network? Vice-versa, he also cannot see my 2 windows 7. I checked the network map, his computer is showing up there, but he's unable to connect to any LAN games we play or any other network related features.
Well we can play some games that have an option to connect by typing the IP, but some games like Resident Evil 5, does not have this feature, so we are pretty much screwed. Even weirder is that my aunt came back and she also has a Vista laptop, but we can see her on the network! My cousin has off his firewall also. If anyone can kindly help, thank you in advance! |

Try making sure that your Vista based machine is on the same workgroup as you. By Default it's WORKGROUP, change all your computers to your own workgroup and see if that helps.

It isn't too obvious how to change that workgroup in Windoze 7!
You have to leave the Homegroup first, then join the Workgroup in the System Control Panel.
