can't see networked pc after installing SP2

[shinjan22]

Hey all,
I have a problem on networking.
2 desktop and 1 laptop on a home network. after i install SP2 on all pcs, 1
of the desktop can't be seen on the network group pcs.
I have tried disable firewall, re-setup networking for several times. It
just doesn't show up in network group, nor does the share folder on that pc
show up.
the other 2 pc seems to keep the network fine.
googled and search on computing.net, but no result works for me.
any suggestion what is going wrong?
