Browsing network computers

For some time now i've not been able to browse any of the network computers attached to my router. Very rarely i'm able to by running the Network Setup Wizard over and over again on each terminal.

All systems run on Windows XP Home and the router is just a standard 8 Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch (US Robotics).

The connections are definetly working as we have been able to have file access before and are always able to use Internet Connection Sharing.

Could anyone possibly advise on what to do to resolve the situation?

Thanks in advance,

BarCode

do you have something shared on each of the systems to share, also do you have shareing enabled on all of them.

Yep, folders are shared and sharing is enabled.

ok are all computers in the same workgroup?

ypo should not use mshome as the work group. pich something else unique and try that.

the problem has to be in the workfroup settings
each system must be the same.

Turn off the XP firewall on each machine. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled over TCP/IP.
