Have you gone into Services and started the computer browser service? Did you check it's properties to see if it's setup for automatic start?

If you don't see Computer Browser listed in Services, then something has been compromised in your installation. It can't hurt to try these fixes in this order, reboot and see if you get connected after each one.
