OK here's the deal, I have my laptop connected to my brother's computer through a router/adsl modem. A few days ago, I disconnected my laptop and took it to uni, but when I got back home and reconnected it to the router, I suddenly lost all contact with my brother's computer. I can connect to the internet, but I can't access shared files and our shared printer, this is very very very annoying since I have so much work I need to print off.

I recently upgraded to the newer version of Zonealarm, but I don't think that is blocking it.

Anyone know what's up? Help is very much appreciated.

make sure you have it represented as a new network (trusted) in ZA. it could very well be causing a problem.

Make sure you didn't change the work group the laptop is on-

Start, Control Panel, System, Computer Name, Work group - check your brothers PC, and make sure the work groups are the same

If anyone could confirm/ correct the method of checking your work group.... im on Vista and so can't check.
