I am running 2 Win XP Pro computers in a home network
hooked into a router and that hooked to a MSN DSL router.
I was able to transfer files between both with firewalls
into the internet and when I added Microsoft Spyware, It
will not recognise the other computer in my home
workgroup. I don't want to unistall the Spyware, what can
I do?

This is more likely to be a firewall issue than an AntiSpyware issue.

Which firewall are you using on each PC, and have you checked their
settings?

Well i am using Windows firewall and even if i shut it
off I still can not connect to my other computer in my
network.
I have a NetDSL800 with a Belkin dsl/gateway router
hooked to 2 computers running winxppro. They both hook to
the internet and about a month ago, they I could transfer
files and print from 1 printer. But with all the Win
updates,(SPG2) and the Winspyware updates, I now can not
connect. i have been in Micro support and I can ping each
other but thats it. Any ideas?
