I have three computers running win XP Pro on a home
network. They all share
a highspeed internet connection Via cable/dsl router.
I can not share files between computers. I have run the
network setup wizard. I do have the folders and drives
shared, I am logged on as admin with full rights. I do
have file and printshareing turned on. The funny thing is
it worked and then all of sudden it started to go downhill
sometimes I could share files sometimes I couldn't, now
not at all. I did replace the router.

Anyone have any ideas.
 
Hi -
This may not help - but we had a similar problem just
recently between our two computers.
We changed routers as well. Everything worked fine until
the change. Then both computers could access the
internet - but could not share or print between the two
computers.
Found out that when we uninstalled our free Zone Alarm
firewall off from both computers the problem went away.
My thinking is that the configurations on our ZA for when
we had the old router conflicted with the new settings
for the new router.
Am going to wait awhile before I put ZA back on at least
my computer.
Hope this helps.
