I solved it. I had downloaded Windows Live OneCare and that has it's own
firewall that was blocking the possibility of seeing computers as well as
sharing printers. If you are using that program you need to go in and change
the Firewall setting to allow me to see the other computers as well as allow
file and printer sharing. Boy do I feel dumb, such an easy solution and took
me a week to figure it out. Hope this helps.
