<br><tt><font size=2>The most common cause of this problem (at least with
the customers I diagnosed this with), was they changed something in the
network that windows barfed on. So workstations configured with a "Local"
(Work) Profile suddenly applied the "Public" Profile for the
local network - which is much more restrictive and disables Sharing by
default.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Did you check if your problematic workstations are
still applying the correct firewall profile?</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Also - on Vista the firewall profile is global and
it locks down completely if you have virtual adapters like VMware's.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>on XP there are no profiles.</font></tt>
