Networking with Vista and Leopard

Hi I recently got a macbook and I have been trying to set it up with my home network. The network consists of a cable modem connected to a Linksys Wireless Router. My Vista PC is connected to the router, and my printer is connected via USB to my Vista computer. Pretty standard stuff. What I am trying to accomplish is that the Vista and Mac computers can see each other on the network. Thus far, I have achieved only half of that. The Vista computer can see the Mac in the network, and can access the files, but the Mac does not see the Vista computer. I have successfully used Finder's "Connect to Server" command to find the Vista computer, but it is not actually found in the network. IE: There is no Network section in Finder. Besides being able to see the Vista computer on the network without having to use "Connect to Server" every time, I would like to use the Mac to print using the printer that is hooked up to my Vista PC. This probably should come hand-in-hand with adding the Mac to my home network. All in all, the Mac is able to connect to the router and go on the internet without a hitch. It's just that it doesn't notice my Vista computer that is on my network also. Any help would be appreciated.
