XP Pro SP2 and home networking problems

[Tom]

I have a home network that has developed problems since
installing XP's SP2. Computer A and B both run XP Pro.
Computers C and D run Win 98 ver 2. Computer A has the
broadband internet commection that the other 3 computers
shared over the network. All computers could see each
other, share files and printers, and access the internet
prior to upgrading Computers A and B for SP2. Since
upgrading, Computer A still works ok but none of the 4
computers can see each other anymore and B, C and D no
longer have any internet access. Any thoughts? I am
considering simply re-installing the home networking but
have not tried this yet.

ICS doesn't work after installing XP SP2

Cause: XP SP2 enable ICF on all connections by default and it may block the
Internet connection on the LAN connection of the ICS Host.

Actually, I think I solved my own problem. After trying
some other things, I simply re-ran the Network Setup
Wizard in Control Panel and on the other computers and
everything seems to be running fine now.
