Hi

I have 2 pcs running xp pro connected to each other via a hub. the hub
is then connected to a broadband router, and this setup was working
fine, except that we had a lot of issues with our isp. We changed to a
new isp but couldn't connect via the speedtouch broadband router, but
can connect on 1 pc using the usb broadband modem the new isp sent to
us.

The problem now is that the two pcs can't see each other at all,
although they are both connected to the hub. I have gone through the
network troubleshooter, and tried renaming the computers. They are
both in MSHOME workgroup, but each one can only see itself in the
workgroup.

I would be really grateful for any suggestions on what to try next, and
will provide any other information that might be useful.

Thanks in advance for any help

I have found that creating a folder like C:\Public and enabling sharing for
the folder on both computers will fix the problem.
