Running cable with wireless router. Had file sharing enabled and running
well for a long time. Suddenly My Newtork Places dissapeared and I tried to
get it back with just limited success. Both computers have internet acces
and I can see both computers on the laptop but only my computer and not the
laptop on my desktop. I can see both machines in the laptop.

I am using Wondows Live One Care which disbales the XP firewall inplace of
its own. I have configures it ( at their suggestion ) to allow file sharing
onthe sunet only.
I also have run bot network setup wizards without any luck. I am running
IE7 FWIW.

Would very much appreciate any and all help.
