ANSWER

Hi,

I have next situation:

5 computers with Win XP SP2 are in Workgroup Lan.
Each of them have 1 shared folder.
That works great until Computer 1 become unaccessible for all others, but
from Computer 1 I can access to all others.
Ones again, now I have got one way network from this Computer 1.

What is wrong here?
Please help.
If you suspect in couple things, please tell me according to priority.

Thanks a lot.

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.

Or look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and
diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
