Unable to browse network (or even see myself)

My network is setup like this:
+Router
-XP Machine (named vaio)
-Debian Machine (running samba, named dell)
-X-Box running XBMC
All are in the HOME workgroup and there is no domain.
I am able to see the debian machine's samba files through the X-Box interface and
it shows up when I browse the network, but not the XP machine. I did used to be
able to (as of a week ago) but something has changed and I'm not sure what.
When I browse my network (Home) through My Network Places>Entire Network>Microsoft
Windows Network>Home, nothing shows up (not even my own computer).
Computer Browser and TCP/IP NetBIOS helper services are enabled, the firewall is
disabled and the names are correct. Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this?

System Restore is disabled. Anything else I can do?

You didn't, by chance, disable file/printer sharing?
