It sounds like you have an incorrectly configured firewall on the new
computer. Service Pack 2 automatically enables the Windows Firewall. If
you are not running a third-party firewall, go to the Windows Firewall
applet in Control Panel and enable File & Printer Sharing on the
Exceptions tab. If you are using a third-party firewall (and have
properly configured it to allow your lan traffic as Trusted), then turn
the Windows Firewall off. You don't want two firewalls running, and a
third-party program will be better than the WF. All firewalls must be
properly configured to allow lan traffic as Trusted.
