In looking for solutions where others have had several computers that could
see each other but one or more which could not, I saw references to checking
Windows Firewall. When I go to Windows Firewall via Control Panel, I get the
following:
"Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated
service is not running. Do you want to start the ... service?" I click Yes
and then it tries to start the service and returns the following error
message:
"Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
service."
I have check the event log (event 7023), but it doesn't connect to any
worthwhile info.
Note: I used to have visibility from this computer to all other computers
and services on my home network. I have good access to the shared router and
the shared printers, but I cannot see the other two computers (they can see
me) and I cannot see my NAS device. I can access by NAS device via its IP
address, but not via the workgroup viewing or my network places function.
I am most concerned about getting the ability to view and access the other
devices on my workgroup. When I try to View Workgroup, I get an error beep,
but no error message. When I try to use the Network Setup Wizard, it goes
through everything and doesn't report an error -- but there is no workgroup
or network places (other than internet places) viewable.
Thanks for the help.
