My little home network has stopped letting me see some of my computers.

They are not in my network places or ms home, however I can search for
computers and find them and access files.

I have turned of Norton and it makes no difference.

I use xp pro.

Thoughts please

Make sure the Windows Firewall or any other Firewall/Internet Security
product is not blocking them.

Disabling Norton may not be an effective solution.

Other than a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, there are other
possible causes.

Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
My email is AT DOT
actual address pchuck mvps org.

If "Norton" is "Norton Internet Security", don't just disable it - uninstall
it.
