I'm still learning to read IPConfig logs from Vista, because they include detail
for both IPV4 and IPV6. Maybe if you include the entire log, not an excerpt, we
can parse it more reliably. The "NetBT Disabled" does look relevant though.

Your problem starts with Server Message Block interference.
"the x64 Vista computer will not see any of the XP (x86 or x64) computers and
they can't see it from the Network Neighbourhood."
That's a browser issue, and the browser uses SMBs (generally over NetBIOS Over
TCP/IP but sometimes directly over IP).

Start by reading about the NT browser (which is what provides the display in
Network Neighborhood - or Network).

http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html

Then, go back and re read about SMBs over NetBT, vs SMBs directly hosted over
IP.

OK, that is what I might have anticipated. You might want to take a
look at the following description of sys error 53 (gleaned from
'Networking, VPN, TS, Remote Access and Internet Troubleshooting'
(http://chicagotech.net)):


*System error 53 - The network path was not found.*
Symptom: when using net view '_\\ip_' (file://ip/) or
'_\\computername_' (file://computername/), you get system error 53.
Resolutions:1) if it is domain environment, check your WINS; 2) if it
is peer-to-peer workgroup, enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP; 3) make sure the
machine is running; 4) make sure file and Printer Share enabled on
remote computer; 5) make sure client for ms networks is enabled on local
computer; 6) make sure you type the correct name. 7) Make sure no
firewall running or any security setting.
