Current setup - Netgear rp614 router connected to cable modem and 3 home computers (WinME, WinXP Home, Win Server 2003). They all share internet and files w/ no problems.

Got another computer, also xp home. It can access the internet, but can't see the other computers in network neighborhood. It can ping them, but when I try to access other shared folders, it says it can't access the workgroup. All computer have same workgroup name set, there is a user account set up on the server 2003 machine. The other computers can see the new computer in the network listing, but can't access it.

What am I doing wrong here? Argh!

Okay, I know this is gonna sound basic, but I had this problem recently, until I rebooted all of the machines on my LAN. So, have you tried rebooting all of the computers?
