Hi all. I need help troubleshooting this Network problem. The problem is I have 3 computers and 2 of them can see each other but the one I am on can't see the network. All of the Workgroup names are the same and I have tried changing them on all computers and rebooting all computers plus the router. My DSL Modem/Router is an Actiontec GT704-WG all 3 PCs are running windows XP Service Pack 2. With one able to dual boot into Vista. Any help is appreciated and if you need more info just let me know.

Greetings Ssshadow,

What I need to know first now is can Computer A and Computer B get to the resources on Computer C with the firewall up. If that is so, Computer C may be still dropping ping packets and may be doing some sort of filtering yet. Not uncommon.

Yes lets disable the guest account for now. This is to keep anybody from hopping on your computer and taking control.

Regards

Kaz.
