cant find W7 PC's on the LAN

Using Ubuntu 11.04 and accessing my LAN I can see the XP PC's but not the Win7 PC's. What do I need to do to have access to the Win7 PC's??

This did not solve my problem. I removed Windows Live Mail and made the change to the Local Security Policy and I still cant get to my Win7 files from UBUNTU. I rebooted both Ubuntu and Win7 and still no help. I have no other Windows Live pgms installed.

Problem fixed-I had cascaded routers and the W7 PC was on the primary router while the XP PC and Ubuntu PC were on the subordinate router.
