1 of 3 Pcs in the network won't connect

Should I totally uninstall Zone Alarm even though it is set to
acknowledge the workgroup with "Trusted" status?

-->ping 192.168.1.105 shows no results for my IP and this is confirmed
by running Network Diagnostics via System Information which shows
"Failure" in that one line item under the Network Adapters category,
everything else looks fine on that detailed report. I can ping the
other 2 pcs on the network.

--I disabled but did not uninstall Zone Alarm Security Suite (even
though it has the network IP set and "Trusted") for all PCs and made
sure XP's firewall was not enabled.
--I reran the Network Setup Wizard repeatedly, allowing printer and
file sharing.
-->ipconfig /release >ipconfig /flushdns >ipconfig /clear >ipconfig
/renew
-->ping 192.168.1.1 my gateway shows results
--Explorer Address Bar: \\JEFFPC shows the partitions I'm enabled to be
seen on the network (Properties/Sharing/"Share This Folder on the
Network"). And the Windows Network Workgroup shows those partitions as
well.
--System Properties shows the correct computer and network name.
-->ipconfig /all shows "unknown node type", "no" IP routing enabled,
DHCP enabled, Autoconfiguration enabled, shows the description of my
network adapter.
--Services enabled: Client For Microsoft Networks, File And Printer
Sharing For Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP), Workstation, Server, TCP/IP NetBios Helper, Computer Browser,
Network Connections.
--Obtain IP address automatically (TCP/IP Properties)
--Automatically Search for Network Folders and Printers is enabled in
the Explorer Folder Options
--Each PC has the same Workgroup name and its own PC name.
-->Net User Guest is active
--Uninstalled and reinstalled Network Adapter
--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
restrictanonymous = 0

Yes, always uninstall any non-Microsoft firewall software while
troubleshooting connectivity issues, then reinstall it once the network is
working correctly.
