Why can't computer#1 see any other computers in the office?
A customer of mine has three computers in his business. One is running Windows 8, and the other two are running windows xp. For clearity sake I will call the windows 8 "comp3". The others are "Comp2" and "Comp1".
Comp1 cannot see any of the other computers, and Comp3 and Comp2 cannot see Comp1. Comp2 and Comp3 are able to access each other fine.
I have shut off both avast firewall and windows firewall and have run the network wizard, but Comp1 still will not communicate with the other computers, nor will see any of the printers on the network.
I can get on the internet fine
How to I go about finding the problem? Thanks for your help on this issue.

I did a comparison on all three computers and am sending you the results. In the meantime I am going to uninstall avast and see what happens.
Comp2 and Comp3 computers are cable connected and Comp1 computer is wireless. Comp2 and Comp3 can talk fine to each other and the printers so I am assuming the connections are good. It is only Comp1 that cannot communicate.

Ok Thanks to you all I did find the solution. The manager of the company had connected Comp3 as "guest" account! (He didn't tell me this till after I found the problem.
Again, thanks for your help - and have a nice day.
