I have a small home wired network centred around a Linksys Router and an
8-port Linksys Switch. Three of the computers (1 x Vista RC1 and 2 x
WinXPsp2) are fine and can see shared folders and swap files.

Another PC, also WinXPsp2, is blind to the network - it cannot see others
in the workgroup and vice versa. It can see and use the Internet
perfectly.

I've checked that NAT is issuing correct IP addresses. They all belong to
the same workgroup called (un)imaginatively - HOME. They are all using
Windows Firewall, they all have File and Printer Sharing enabled. They
look identically set up but I MUST have overlooked something simple.

Does anyone have a suggestion or maybe a link to a site where it give
simple steps that I can follow to check out the problem? Thanks.
