I can't see my Mac on my Windows Vista PC.

I have an iMac running Lion, and I am trying to see the Mac from my Windows Vista PC, both on my home network. All this has nothing fancy, and I can see the PC from my Mac (just not the reverse!) I know this is something simple, but I cannot find it.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You do have Windows file sharing enabled on the Mac, correct?

Yes, I do. Both are in the same workgroup, I have set up a user account on the Mac with the same name as the PC, and threatened both machines with grievious bodily harm, all to no avail.
