In my hosue we have 2 desktop PC's and 2 Laptops. All running XP Home except one of the laptops which has XP Pro. We had a network going successfully for months, but then it stopped working. So we decided to wipe all the settings and start again. We used the Network Setup Wizard on the main desktop and used a USB key to set up the other PC's. All 3 other computers are on the network and can see eachother and swap files, but my desktop will not.

I can see myself on the workgroup and can access my own files, but I cannot see any other computers. The other PC's can see me on the network but cannot get access to my computer/files.

We cannot understand why this is, can anyone suggest what I can do to to fix it?
Thanks
