I have 6 computers which connect to the web and to each other by wired
router, using the usual Microsoft Windows Network. I have one computer that
can connect to the web but not to the other computers. I try to re-set up the
home network on that computer but when I look for the other computers I get
the error "MShome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if you have access permission. The list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available". This is a recent problem, till a few months ago sharing
etc. was also fine for this computer.

Looking forward to assistance.

First start with disabling Windows Firewall, i saw this-like issues
because of crappy WF. Then ensure that all the PC's have the same
workgroup name. Then check all the PCs TCP/IP settings, ensure that
NetBIOS is ON that and remote computer

Then to have a physical test, ping that computers under command prompt
with ping command.
