I have several computers on a network, one is wireless. I have been
happy as a clam sharing files among all computers when I got a virus on
my XP machine. I cleaned and restored and pretty much got back where I
was and even the network was working fine.

Well, the next day the XP computer lost the network. It still accesses
the Internet fine (I'm using it now) but it can't see the others. The
two I am concerned with are running Win 2000. They see each other and
the Internet just fine but can't see this one, nor can this one see them.

I tried all the network schemes I can think of. Even had a computer
guru look at it and give up. It would really be nice to have all these
computers playing together again.

Any ideas? Need more info?

The virus cleanup might have removed something that had hooked into
the TCP/IP stack or the LSP chain. Try these steps to repair them:

1. At a command prompt, enter this line, press Enter, then reboot:

netsh winsock reset

2. Download, install, and run Winsock XP Fix from:
