Network Issue

Hi

Got a bit of a problem recently i built up a media PC so i could share movies and music over the network and was all working well for a week. Then recently my media pc cannot find anyone on the network and the other computers can't see it. It is running Win XP and i haven't changed any settings it has just lost the ability to find computers on the network and for them to see it. I can ping the other computers but just can't see them

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Chris

Try entering \\ComputerName in the My Computer address field.

Hi

Tried that and still getting know where looks like it might have to be a fresh install.

Thanks

Can the other computers ping the media one?

Hi

Yes and they can see each other it is almost as if the media pc has lost the ability to use file sharing. No matter what ive tried i can't seem to fix it. I have run multiple virus scans and spyware checks to see if it is that, it picked up a few but has resolved them now and still nothing. (NOD32 & Ewido)

Cheers
