I have 2 desktop PCs connected via RJ45 to a USRobotics Wireless Turbo Access
Point & Router. I also have a laptop that connects via the wireless link.
Until today I have happily run a small home network allowing access to all
files and folders between computers. However, this morning I tried to access
a folder across the network from one PC to another and it was unavailable? On
looking in My Network Places on the main PC there is nothing listed. The
second PC and laptop are still happily communicating but the main PC is
nowhere to be found. The strange thing is that all computer are still
connected to the internet via the router and all can be pinged by the others
from the DOS prompt. I've tried running the home and small office network
setup several times and have changed both the network name and the computer
names but the main PC can neither reach the others nor can it be seen. Apart
from the abscence of the network drives in MY Network Places and the
inablility to access them all seems normal. This problem is driving me nuts.
