I had a homenetwork up and running just fine. Recently, however, it appears
as if my router died (I'm NOT happy about that) and since then I can NOT get
all three computers to appear on the network with the new router. Here's
what happens:

I've got three computers, named:

1. Main
2. PC1
3. PC2

on my homenetwork named "HOMENET." Here are the problems:

1. The MAIN computer cannot see or access EITHER one of the other computers.

2. PC1 can see, but not access anything on MAIN (it used to be able to) but
it can access PC2

3. PC2 can see and access PC1 but not MAIN.

In words, PC1 and PC2 can see and share files but only PC1 can see (but not
access) anything on MAIN. I've tried EVERYTHING but nothing works. HELP!!
 
HI...

Sounds to me like... one of your PCs (probably MAIN) ended up with XP's
Firewall option turned on.
