[RESOLVED] Home Network Stopped Working

[hmmm]

I have....

1 windows xp PC connecting to Internet via cable through Zyxel p600 modem and using zoneAlarm
1 windows xp Notebook connecting to internet via wireless and using zoneAlarm
1 Windows 7 laptop connecting to internet via wireless using windows firewall

Above 3 were perfectly able to file share and print under the name of WORKGROUP.

Today I have changed the wireless network connection name and password on my Zyxel modem.

My laptop and Notebook are able to see each other after I have put the new passwords.

But they can not see my PC. My PC can not see them either. ???

I am a bit lost...can you help me please? Thank you.

Make sure ZoneAlarm is properly configured for a the local area network. An improperly configured firewall can block file and printer sharing.

[hmmm]

I was thinking that the ZoneAlarm might have been the culprit. Can you give me alittle clue where and how to start to configure it please?

I have disabled the "Local Area Connection" and enabled it.
