Did you by chance run the networking wizard? Setup as residential gateway?

Other things to check:

1. File sharing enabled?

2. All pc's share the same workgroup name.

3. User names are consistent across pc's?

4. Can you ping the other machines?

5. IP addresses set for automatic assignment?

6. Client for microsoft networks installed on all machines?

Hope this helps.

Regards

Vince
