Unable to...
...browse My Network Places in Windows XP?
...view workgroup computers?
...set up a network printer?
Windows Live OneCare is the culprit dammit! (I didn't think Windows XP changed that much since the last time I set up a home network!) You can now tell what I spent all day doing, and now may you benefit as a result. Double-click Windows Live OneCare located on your taskbar, under Common Tasks click Change OneCare settings, and under the Firewall tab, click the Advanced settings... button. Under the Managing and sharing tab, select Only share them with computers on my local network (subnet) under Sharing. OK twice out, and now you can finally browse My Network Places in Windows XP, view workgroup computers, and set up a network printer! May all your queries lead to my solution as Microsoft has not been this kind to me.
