Had my home network for several years. Used D-Link router to share Internet and files/folders between desktop (XP SP3 and two laptops (Vista and XP-SP2). Few weeks ago installed Verizon FIOS. (Verizon installs their router made by Actiontek)They also intalled few software - mostly for help and monitoring. That's the only change I had but looks like it changed something. Now my Laptops can not see my desktop. Desktop can see laptops and access shared files. McAfee shows all my computers. When I logon to Router-it shows all computes and their IP address, but still my desktop isinvisible for laptops on my network
Try different things - no success. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help.
