Home network problem

[tdmafort]

I have a network set up with 2 pc's running xp home sp3 and a linksys router.
The issue I am having is the main pc I use does not show anything in "my
network places", the second pc has it's shared folder and the pc in the work
group but doesnt show anything for pc1. I re-ran the network setup wizard but
that didnt help. After reading other posts here I have tried using browstat
status command but it just returns a command promp and no info. I reset the
winsock and did a malware scan but nothing was found.

I had this error in the event log:

I followed instructions and checked the registry keys and did what was
suggested to fix it. Restarted the pc but still dont have anything in the
network.

Hi
make sure that you have a valid Network installed correctly.
Maybe this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html

Thank you Jack,

Apparently I didnt fix the winsock but the link you provided had a program
that fixed it and now it works.
Again, thank you.
