You should have a pic of your network map (This Computer -> Network -> Internet)
Under that there should be a blue link that says "Customize" Click it.
In there you can switch from Public to Private network, which will change the way Windows and all your apps interact with the network.

Aaah, I love Vista! LOL.
Well you've done the exact thing I would have done, which is also what Bennie recommended.
Beyond this, I'm not entirely sure. Do you have a router handing out IP addresses to your PC and 360 through DHCP, or have you manually set them?
Is it a possibility that you might have your IP addresses configured incorrectly and they're in different subnets?
Just to verify this, can you please tell us the IP address, subnet mask and gateway for both the 360 and PC. Of course, if they obtain addresses automatically then this shouldn't be an issue.
The other thing is 3rd party anti-virus and firewall software. Do you have any?
