I have the following problem and I really can't find the right answer :-(
Three pc's (A, B and C), A and B running windows xp home edition and C windows xp professional (all with service pack 2).
I have disabled windows firewall because I'm using zonealarm.
All three are connected together with cat5e cable and attached to a switch, also I have an isdn router to enable connection to the internet.
Here is what is happening !
While A and B are accesing the whole workgroup without a problem, C gives me the following error when I'm trying to see workgroup computers: workgroup is not accesible. You might not have permission etc.
Right at this moment if I open an explorer window and manualy give the network address of the other two pc's I can access them without a problem even if I still can't view workgroup computers. Also if I first open a shared folder from my network places then I have apsolutly no problem to use the menu "view workgroup computers", but all this until the next restart of the machine!! But even if all this is happening and because of this problem I can't have access to the internet while the other two have.
For me all this is very wired and I really can't understand why :-((
And offcourse I still can't have access to the internet.!
Please HELP!!
