Have wireless internet, but cant see other computers

My computer is connected to the internet through the router (shows "internet
Connection" in the Network Connections screen) but I am unable to see the
other computers in the workgroup. It showes that I am connected to the
network, but cant see the other computers. I have tried to ping, I have
verified that the name is the same on all computers, and disabled the
firewalls,. I dont know what else to do. I have viewed the posts here &
followed the instructions that seemed relative, without success.

Joyce,

9 out of 10 reports like yours are caused by inconsistent NetBT settings, or a
misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall.

If you wish to diagnose the problem, look at logs from "browstat status",
"ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each
computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):

Thank you so much for your help. Your articles and directions were excellent
and you were exactly right about the problem. The problem that I found was a
AOL Securities program that was blocking access from the IP address of that
computer. Thanks again for the input.
