Good Luck. Keep trying the answers on the board. Some may work. Have the same problems. Stopped upnp on my router which helped see the other computers on my network but took down my email. I am begining to believe that Windows7 was designed to end networking. By now you should be able to feel my fustration. Even "professionial" PC guru's won't take paying support calls to fix networking issues with Windows7.

Hi, When did this issue occur for the first time? Open network sharing center->Change advanced sharing settings and make sure you have turned on the corresponding settings. Or you can Run Troubleshoot problems under Network and sharing Center to check the result. Meanwhile, if you have any firewall software, please disable it as a test. If still no go, you can consider resetting and re-configuration the router.
