I brought a second computer and set up the network successfully. I had internet connection, file and printer sharing. It was all fine for several weeks. Then for some reason it stopped working. I think it was after I restored the older computer. I have checked all the file sharing, workgroups, firewall settings, TCP/IP. The older comp does not register anything in the network place and the new one only registers itself. I thought it was a firewall problem but I have checked the allow's and also tried by turning it off. When I run the home network wizard it completes but no computer shows on network place. When i try to add a network place the browse option only takes me to the workgroup. There is no computer or files to add. any ideas? Help! I'm thinking about doing a clean boot and reformate but it seems a bit extreme.
