Thank you very much for your answers

As Antaeus suggests, you may well have an LSP / Winsock / TCP/IP corruption
problem.

How did you stop Windows Firewall? What antivirus protection package do you
have? Look for antiworm protection, that won't shut off with the antivirus.

You could try to diagnose the problem, using logs from "browstat status",
"ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each
computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):

Services "Computer Browser" and "Server" are working ans started.
I have Kasperksy 6.0
I shut the windows firewall by going in the control panel>windows
firewall
I have full access to internet.

Shutting the antivirus and the firewall seem to change nothing to the
problem.

Kaspersky also has anti-worm protection, which isn't part of the firewall, nor
the anti-virus. That will block SMBs too.

Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
My email is AT DOT
actual address pchuck mvps org.

So you are suggesting I should uninstall Kasperky ?
