I close it so I can read the info?
NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled on both PCs (I had enabled it on both)
The Windows firewall is off on boths PCs (using router firewall)
I only have an anti-virus program now
TCP/UDP port 445 open on router (had to open for incoming traffic). One of
your links stated both TCP & UDP. The other said just TCP. Which is correct
please?
Both PCs can now view the workgroup without the error I had before, but
neither computer can see itself or the other PC
OK, now that you know, Enable NetBT. For a small LAN, it's essential.
What router (make and model please) do you have? If it's a NAT router, there is
no firewall. And NAT only protects the computers on the LAN from what's on the
Internet, NOT from each other.

What AntiVirus program is it? Look for a bundled protection that acts like a
firewall!

What traffic do you have, that you had to open the router for? Remember again,
that's only for traffic from the Internet to your LAN. There are no ports to
open, on a typical NAT router, that affect Windows Networking.
