What Happened to My Home Network?

I have two WinXP computers, one running Pro the other running
Home. They are connected to a Linksys Etherfast Cable router
(BEFSR41). Before I had to pack everything up for a move both
computers were able to see each other in the Workgroup. Now,
after hooking everything back up the Home computer cannot
access the Workgroup. Both pcs can ping each other by IP and
by Name. The Pro pc can see the Home pc in MyNetworkPlaces and
can access the shared folders and both pcs show up in View
Workgroup Computers. On the Home pc, only the local shared
folder shows up on MyNetworkPlaces and an error message is
displayed when trying to View Workgroup Computers.

The error message I get is: Mshome is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the Administrator of this server to find out if you
have accesss permissions. The network path was not found.

Also, when I run "net view" on the Home pc I get the following
message: System error 53 has occurred. The network path was
not found.

Running "net view" on the Pro pc shows both pcs in the
results.

Any help would be appreciated.
