Hey all, I have recently uninstalled SP2 because of the
inability to connect to my home network. Can connect to
the internet w/o a problem but to no avail can i connect
to the other computers on the network. With sp1 i have no
problems. Please Any Suggestions are apreciated!!

Are you saying that whatever sp2 broke the uninstall did not fix?

Jesse,

after reinstalling SP2 enable the firewall exception for File
and Printer Sharing.

If that's not it, have a good look at
