XP Workgroup problems

[Neil Jenkins]

I have 5 Pc's running XP with SP2. One connected to the
wireless router via cable the others via wireless to same
router. All have same workgroup name. All worked perfectly
prior to installation of SP2, by just giving all the same
workgroup name.

The one connected via cable can see all others when
workgroup computers are viewed and see shared folders etc.
The other 4 can see each other and see shared folders on
those PC's.

The one connected via cable shows up in the the "view
workgroup computers" window but when an attempt is made to
connect to this PC I get the messeage "..\\PC is not
available. You might not have permissions to use this
network resource......The Network path is not found"

I have tried all the obvious fixes and some not so obvious.
Can anyone help please?

Neil
