has disappeared from the network and I can no longer access it or access any
of the other
pc's from it.In the system properties it is still shown as being in the

Could be anything. If there is a third-party firewall installed, remove it
and use the built-in WinXP firewall instead. Remove the WLAN connection
from that desktop computer and create it again. Compare all relevant
settings (eg. TCP/IP settings, WLAN channel etc.) with the other PCs.
Scan the system for Malware in addition. If this doesn't help, repost to
