XP can connect to internet but can't access local computers or printers
3 computers 3 printers in network. All computer work fine except laptop. All local firewall are off. The laptop connect to internet, can ping to local ips but cant browse local computers or printers. If i try to add a network printer I can see all computer names, but i dont get any access to any of them. Only from this computer, all other computers work fine.
I reinstall network driver, check computer browser service(started automatically and working fine).
Im out of ideas.

are they in the same workgroup
This may be an obvious question, but did you set any printers or folders on the PCs to be shared? XP will only share what's been set to be shared, it won't share printers or folders automatically.
To share a printer or folder, right click on it and choose "Sharing..."

yes... they are in the same workgroup. They are connected using a router and a 10/100/1000 switch. Ips are assign by router. So they have the same subnet and workgroup.
Have you tried turning off Windows Firewall on all 3 computers?

All firewalls are off. All other computers work fine. This problem was something that happend past week with no event or intallation or nothing. It just happend one time and since then there is no access from that computer... It is a laptop. The problem is using wireless or lan rj45 connection...
Have you tried a System Restore?
