I have three computers connected to a router, two computers work great
both can see their selves and each other when viewing workgroup computers
but the third can't be seen at all.
I used the Command Prompt on all to retrieve their IP address and I was
able to ping to their own IP address except the third computer, times out.
The third computer I am able to use the shared internet connection and the
network printer also I'm able to add a network place to the other computers
but when I view workgroup computers I see nothing.

The following is the error I receive:

Mshome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource......
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.

I have checked System Properties, Computer Name.
All three have unique Names and all have the same Workgroup name (Mshome).
I have at least one folder set to shared on each computer.

All computers are using Windows XP Home SP2.

I have used the Network Setup Wizard and created a network setup disk
many times.

Any thoughts would greatly appreciated.

Tom
