not accessible from other PC over the network (LAN)

[n p singh]

We have a LAN of around 30 PCs. My PC's OS is WInXP.
Others have 98, NT mixed. After Auto update I am unable
to access the other PCs. Same for other: they too cannot
share anything from my PC. printer is installed on my PC
and this too have become unshareable, although I have
successfully shared that.
After adding TCP-IP no. of other PCs in "hosts" file I
can access there shared folders but they cannot do the
same. Any help please.

can you ping each other? also make sure not firewall running on the LAN
connection. posting ipconfig /all here may help.
