Default Networking Problem sharing files

Networking Problem sharing files / printer
I have 2 computers running Windows XP. One is Pro, one is home.

Trying to set up your usual file / printer sharing...simple nothing advanced...

they are on the same network..at&t uverse router....

the problem I am having is that they simply do not see each other...

I have enabled sharing on both computers, I have set them on the same Workgroup, firewalls are off, and I used the network setup wizard to setup both with the same options.

Now usually this has worked for me on just about every computer I have worked on in the past..

for some reason, it won't work on these 2. when I go to "add network place" and input the local IP's, it just says "the folder you entered does not appear to be valid. please choose another".

when I navigate to the workgroup in my network places, neither computer sees the other one.

I am able to ping them through CMD.. so I know it is not a hardware problem...

It was working fine until I sent one of the computers out to have some spyware removed, when it got back I started having this issue...

Could it be that something was deleted along with the spyware, which is keeping that computer from having the ability to be on a network?

any ideas?

thank you
