I can't view other computers on my network, but they can view mine. If I open a networked folder from my computer under one of the other computers, then they will finally show up on the network. What's the deal with that?

I think you left out a whole lot of rather important info. It sounds like a typical windoze network... But all any-one can do is guess. What type of network set-up is it? (supposed to be) Server? OS's? Help.!.
Get the point? More information please.

its a private network with 3 computers wired to a firewall router and setup into one workgroup name. nothing special nor complicated but for some reason it won't recognize others on the network from this computer until you physically go to another computer and open a networked folder from this one. tell me if you need anything else....thanks!

It looks like your issues will be in the router. Try to go to the router set-up through your web browser, sign-in, and see what is and is-not set there. I don't know what brand you have, and certainly don't know how to program all of them, but it's not hard. They all have instructions for the set-up. That should get your computers talking to each other again. -d

Hi,
I saw your mail today so sorry for this much delay, actually i also experienced with this type of problem, basically this type of problem arises because of virus. check out that computer from which you are not able to access other PC's, if possible download antivirus from internet and run in this PC.i am sure this problem will not be more.
thanks Regards,

if your all on the same subnet your not even using layer 3 routing, try manually mapping a drive to get windows to wake the F up! or remove yourself from the workgroup and put yourself back in!
