Other computers can see my computer

After removing Malware and virus from my computer with the help of Windows BBS. Other computers on my LAN can not see my computer. One of the problems I had before removing the malware was my computer would see the network but could not obtain a IP address automatically form the router. I gave my computer a IP address then I could access the network. After removing the malware I change it back to obtain an IP address automatically and it got and IP address OK and I could access the internet but the other computers can not see my computer on the network.

 

Malware has most probably damaged your system files or config.

Try running System File Checker tool sfc/scannow as Administrator.

 

I have a few questions:

What OS are you running?
Are the workstations on a domain or a workgroup?
Can you ping the other workstations by name and IP?
They cannot see you on the network, but can you see them?
Thanks, Trey.

 

OS is Windows XP sp3.
workstations are on a workgroup
will try to ping other computers after work
i can see the names of other computers but there do not have any shared folders
other computers can see the name of my computer but can access the shared folders or shared printer

 

ping ok

I can ping other computers on the LAN and i can access there shared folders
The other computers can see my computer name but get a error when trying to access shared folders

 

When i run System File Checker it ask for the OS disk it is a 05 ver of Windows xp sp2.
The OS on my computer have been update to sp3 is that a problem?

 

System File Checker i ran it should that fix anything ?

 

I fixed my problem my self

I have to change McAfee fire will setting now i can access my shared folders ok.

about the same time i had malware problems McAfee up dated to a new Ver that cause access problems
