XP Network MSHOME

I just bought a new hard drive and installed XP Pro on it. I connect through the internet through a router and I can access the internet on the computer. I tried setting up a home network, but I cannot see the other computers. The other computers can see this computer. I turned off the XP firewall, but I still cannot see the other computers. Can anyone help me or give suggestions?

Does the machine have virus protection? I just setup a network at home: 1x WIN XP Pro (Virus Protected) 1x WIN 98 I had to alter the firewall settings on the virus protection to get the network setup.
Hope this helps.
