My Winxp sp2 pc cannot be seen or pinged on my home network?

I set up a home network for a friend and I have four pc's. 1 win me, 2 winxp office sp2, 1 winxp home. The winxp home can access the internet but cannot see one of the winxp office and none of the pc's can see the winxp home pc. I want to share files on the winxp home pc. I have had other winxp home pc's on the network and have been abel to share files.

Yeah, you have a firewall on, either it's Windows Built in firewall or a third party firewall you have installed on your computer. You can disable/enable the Windows Firewall by going to control panel > Windows Firewall.

Other third party firewall are Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee, Zone Alarm, ect. These firewalls can normally be configured by clicking on the "loaded" icon by the clock on the task bar.

I've had a problem like this before and it actually ended being a bad network cable. Check all the settings twice and make sure the workgroup is all the same.

sounds like the stupid Windows built-in firewall is on.
