Re: Computer don't see each other after moving to WPA2
When you change drivers, the system behaves as if you installed brand new hardware. So be sure that any previous settings you had for the SP2 firewall are still set. Adapter-specific settings (which usually isn't the way most people configure the firewall) would be lost.
Reboot the machines.
If the machines connect to the internet okay, then just wait about a half-hour. More than likely, they'll sort everything out. If not, then check the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) and look for references to NETBT or BROWSER.

North York, ON | Thanks for the tips. Will give them a try and see what happens. That event viewer sounds helpful. Thanks again. |

| You're welcome ...
Someone did the math once, but I think it came out to 19 minutes for a Windows File and Printer Sharing (Broadcast Browser-based network) to detect a failure, force an election, and restore the network browser. That's why I say about 30 minutes -- 20 seems to close and if just one thing goes wrong ...
...good luck

North York, ON | Awesome! I did not have any firewall running on any of the computers so that was not it, however they did eventually found each other, thanks a lot. |
