Just to add my two cents worth to all of the SP2 posts. I had a reliable
network with all WinXP systems prior to SP2. Now I have none, I cannot see
any of my Shares. I do have an Internet connection through my router on all
systems. They just can't see each other. Checked all configurations and
they are identical to pre-SP2.
 
Did you enable the new firewall? If so, disable it and try again.
 
It's been disabled and I use ZoneAlarm Pro instead.

I think I found the culprit:

Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
service must be set to "Automatic" and be started. This wasn't true with
SP1.

Glad you found and fixed it.
