Network / Firewall problem

G

Guest

I'm having problems with my home network. I've got 4 computers networked. I
can see all computers on all computers. I can't access 1 of the computers
from any of the others, all the others work fine. This includes the ability
to access the other computers from the one that can't be accessed. I tried
shutting the Windows Firewall off on the problem computer, but it never
indicates that it's shut off in the Security group window. On my other
computers when I shut off the firewall the the indicator in the Security
group window warns you immediately that the firewall is off. Any help would
be appriciated. Usually I can work problems out but I've been working on
this for more time than I'm going to admit.

Norton AntiVirus 2005 loaded with
the "Internet Worm Protection" is also a firewall app and might be
the reason that the firewall indicator in Windows Security Service will
not
turn off.

ideas would be appriciated

Have a look in event viewer. There is a known error in xp called something
like an "8032 browse error" See if you can see thjat error showing up in
event viewer which is part of computer management.
