Kelli....I have this same problem, too. File sharing and printing have been
checked and double checked. It even goes as far as showing the computer name
on the my networks window, even though it refuses to map the 2 together.
The SP2 update obviously unmapped the computers. I have disabled the
firewall with no luck and my next task will be to uninstall SP2 as
everything worked prior to that update. Do you have any other solutions?
