If someone could help it would be great. I have 3 computers ( 2 laptops & 1 PC ) running on my home network. All units are in the same work group. 1 laptop and the PC connect to the network via wireless. both laptops can see each other and the PC. The PC cannot see either laptop. PC can be pinged by both laptops but not the other way around. The all units can access the Router, and all IPs and subnets are good. the PC can access the internet through the router just not the laptops. Everything was working fine until few weeks ago, and no changes made to the network settings on the PC, unless in an Auto-update. I'm lost.

Corrected problem by making 98 pcs a trusted node.
