What changed between the time things worked and the time things didn't?
Are you using a third-party firewall? If so, which one and is it a
current version? Does your computer have Service Pack 2? Service Pack 2
automatically enables the Windows Firewall. If this applies to you, go
to the Windows Firewall applet in Control panel and:

1. If you are not using a third-party firewall, make sure that File &
Printer Sharing are enabled on the Windows Firewall Exceptions tab.

2. If you are using a third-party firewall, turn the Windows Firewall
off.
