If anyone has had problems with XP SP2 - after disabling the Windows firewall - and browsing their home network, then they will be interested in the following hotfix:

Here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889320)

Use this link (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1093184&page=5) to get a copy of the corrected browser.dll - about 1/2 way down the page, there's a link to a zip file.

To apply it, you will need to Disable the Computer Browser Service, then reboot, copy the new browser.dll to System32 and ServicePackFiles\i386 (and $NtServicePackUninstall$\i386, if it exists). It may be a good idea to rename the existing to browser.dll.bak or some such. Now enable Computer Browser Service and Start it.

Hey presto - you can browse the network!
