In this apartment I live in, I have 2 other roommates, all are connected to the internet with a router in my room. However, my two other roommates computers can share files together in "My Network Place" while mine cannot. In my own "My Network Place", I only see my own computer's identity and not theirs, and they cannot see my computer in their "My Network Place". I've tried just about every single possible way to fix this but to no aveil. All the configuration for my computer is set exactly the same as my roommates' computers, like the name of the workgroup and so on... please help, helpful GAF !

That's all I got. Good website, if you can google some answers, considering you can't browse the site unless you pay.

Try typing in their computer names in your browser.
If their names are Bob and Joe then type
\\joe
and
\\bob
If you are using a fa311 network card switch to 10baseT (half Duplex)
I had the same problem with that card

Without getting too technical, just do this...
Go to My Network Places
On the side panel, you should see something to the effect of "Set up a home or office network"
*Know your Network/Workgroup name. You are probably on a different workgroup then they are since you can't see them, only ping them.
Also, when asked, use the existing Internet Connection method to connect since that already works fine.

Is there a 'Network Bridge' in your network places? If not, do as I siggested above.

It's MSHOME by default.

I recently had a similar problem, but I'm pretty sure the root of it was that one computer was ME, while the two that networked together easily were XP. You'll find a lot of suggestions at this forum topic. There's a post by me saying near the end that none of it seemed to work yet, but I just kept trying to add or play with the configuration of the Network settings and protocols in Control Panel, and eventually... things clicked.
Okay, I just logged into my router setup page and found Adia's computer, who is the one with a Network Bridge, has 2 IPs... and I cannot access her computer with either of the IP. However, I can still access my other roommate's, Rebecca's, computer with her IP address. THE PLOT THICKENS ! Oh, and Adia's computer cannot go on the internet if I shut down her Network Bridge for some very weird reason...

Not strange at all... That's how it works. 'Bridges' network connections.
