Hello Raspyni,

By "mostly works", I assume that each machine can access the Internet
and that the problems are limited between systems on the local LAN.
Please confirm.

When you say "can see", I assume this is through the Network
Neighborhood of Windows. Have you verified that:
 - there are no duplicate IP addresses on the local LAN (nor error
messages about that)
 - each machine can "ping" every other machine. See
  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ping.mspx
    for instructions for Windows XP, ping on ME should run similarly.

Based on the results of that I can make some further suggestions for
isolating the problem.

Well, I had a bit of time to spend with this today and just for the
heck of it, tried turning off Norton Firewall.  Voila!  There are my
other machines.

It's alive...  Thanks.

Barry
