I have a small network of 3 computers

I have suddely developed a networking problem with one computer. All I
get on that one on My Network Places is "My Web Sites on MSN"

I have completely lost all my network places on this computer.

However I can still access this computer from the other two and
transfer files between the other two.

How can I get the drives re-listed on this computer? There must be a
simple answer, but I can't think of it!

Click "Add a network place" and add the ones that you want.

You can access another computer without using My Network Places. Type
one of these commands in the Start | Run box, substituting the actual
computer and share names:

\\computer - see a computer's shared disks and folders
\\computer\share - see a particular shared disk or folder
