Windows 7 Network Problem

[RACKnRAIL]

Any Win 7 experts could give me a hand. Krell, perhaps? I have not been able to google a solution, thus far. The problem is I have 3 computers, all win7 on a home network. They've all been communicating for ages now. So now, all of a sudden, I can't seem to share files from the TV PC to my office, but the TV PC can see my office files. We all share the same workgroup, I have checked the permissions, reset passwords, etc. When I try connecting my office computer to the TV computer it says unable to connect. So I ran the diagnose network feature and get, "your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource is not responding". What would all of a sudden cause this and how can I fix it to share files again?

Stupid question, but did something change in windows firewall (rules), or if you had it off, is it back on now?
I had a similar issue, and that is all it was, windows firewall came back on for no reason...

I already tried disabling the firewall to no avail. Thanks for the reply though.

Are they all connecting as home or work computers? Your public sharing profile is probably quite a bit different in how it restricts traffic then your home or work settings.

This is a home network. All computers communicate, except my office to TV. However, they will communicate the other way around, which is what throws me off.

I finally got it fixed. I'm not even sure what did it, but after several hours of frustration, it's sharing files again.

I had problems like that one time and the fix was to shut everything down, reboot, problem solved itself.
