I have 4 networked computers all running XP pro.
a/All computers can print and and access the web.
b/All computers can ping all the others by IP address and by name.
c/Computers 1, 2, & 3 display all the others in 'my network places' and 'show workgroup computers'
d/Computer 4 only shows the router in 'my network places' and wont display anything at all in 'show workgroup computers'
e/I can 'push' or 'pull' shared documents from Computer 4 from any of the other machines but cannot do anything from Computer 4

It seems to me that the network is set up correctly - it's working fine. Computers 1, 2, &3 all think that Computer 4 is in the workgroup but Computer 4 cannot see the other machines.

Any suggestions??
