If you search for the other computers, will it find them? Can you ping the others by name?

can you \\<isvisible-comp-name> in the Start -> Run and access the computer?
if that works, check for workgroup name and see if it's the same, also, if it seems allright, try to change it, reboot, change it back.

if that doesn't work try repairing the connection and see if that helps.

Also check: firewall configuration (disable all..), file and printer sharing checked on the lan config.
