When I click on Windows Explorer/My Network Places/Entire Network/Microsoft
Windows Network I get an error messge 'Unable to browse the network. The
network is not present or started'.

There are 2 other PCs on the network who can see this PC and see its shared
folders. Just this PC cannot see them.

In Network Connections all seems fine.
IE works fine.
