Home Networking problem - help!

I have replaced my home network in order to be able to get the full benefit
of the Virgin Media 20 mbps service (my old router only had a 10base WAN
so I was only getting 7 mbps).

I have three PC's on the network, all of which can surf the internet (at
the 20 mbps rate) but they cannot "see" each other and use the printers etc,
any body got any ideas ?

Are you sure you have assigned them to the same workgroup name?

I got them going again. I hand to re-train my Norton Security to recognise
the new IP addresses.

You need to share some folders and the printer. They all need to be in
the same workgroup. Other than that it should work.
