   Hello Ben:   
      
   As originally asked by JimH in the other thread, and answered, what   
   are you using for antimalware protection?  Some vendors add their own   
   firewall.  You could also render more information about the service   
   pack level of the systems.   
      
   Are we to understand that two or more home computers are on the LAN   
   side of your home's router and that the access difficulties are from   
   computer to computer?
