Yes, you need to see if all devices are set up correctley. It may help if they all had the same settings but this depends on the cicumstances.

Hi.
Unfortunately these days many software package that are installed by users assumes that it is the only software on the computer and that its programmers knows what best for you. The nice ones disclose what they do, but most do not care.
In addition as you probably know Internet surfing is Not about what you see on the screen, each page before displaying it self loads "Tone" of files, pictures, ads, 3rd party URLs, and other stuff. Some of it is published in a very sloppy way and even without intended malice can have an effect on the computer.

I checked the settings on my 3rd party firewall and they did not have the
Network IP numbers listed in the Trusted Zone on th 2 xp systems. I fixed
that and everything is ok now. I still don't know what changed in the last
few days but it's working now.
Thanks again.

to go over the sharing setting of the computer and make sure that they are
set correctly.
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.
