All of a sudden one of the computers on my network will not recognize any of the others. My setup is as follows.

2 Desktops (Connected to router via cat5)
1 Laptop (wireless)
1 Netgear wireless router
XP SP2

My laptop and one of the desktops see each other clearly, they also see the other (problem) desktop if I "show workgroup computers" but not from "my network places".

I have rerun the Network Wizard several times but it still won't work. I think this all started when I gave in and finally installed SP2 on the problem computer. All computers are now running XP SP2. I am also running a Netgear MP101 Media Server from the problem desktop but that has not been a problem in the past.

Any ideas?
Much appreciation for any replies.

All I did was disable the firewall and re-enable it. Go figure. Two seconds and everything is working great again. Off to find...er' start another problem.
