Default File and printer sharing problem

I have a problem with my home network that I am trying to fix. I have a home
network of three computers, two desktops and one laptop. The laptop runs Xp
media edition and the desktops run xp home edition. The laptop and the
upstairs pc connect wirelessly to a router, the desktop downstairs connects
to the same router via an ethernet cable.
Up until recently I was able to file share on all three without problem and
the printer - connected to the desktop downstairs - was accessible to all
three. Then my wife ran a microsoft fix on the downstairs computer for zoo
tycoon and suddenly file sharing and printer sharing stopped. The computer is
still able to access the internet and I am able to remote control the
downstairs computer from either of the other two using vnc. I have switched
off the firewall (Norton Internet Security 2009) and tried reseting the file
sharing folders but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate any help that
can be offered.
