Network has stopped functioning

My home wired network consisting of several computers has stopped working. I recently
added a new laptop to the mix and when the wireless internet connection wasn't working
I was instructed by HP to re-install the Win XP OS. That didn't help so Verizon had
me install a software upgrade to the Westell Versalink modem router. That solved
the wireless problem but now the LAN does not function. All of the wired computers
can access the internet through this modem but my "OFFICE" network is inaccessible.
I've checked out everything I can think of but no go. Ipconfig shows OK. The LAN
status on the Westell shows some of the computers active and some inactive. Help,
please!

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.
-- Chinese proverb --
It sounds like when you re-install the Win XP OS it redid all your setting and drivers
now you will need to start over and put the drivers back into place..
The reg.file runs the machine and when you reinstall OS it will replace the one that's
in place with a new one..
IF you are running XP you can use the RESTORE Wizard and it get all your setting
back to the date you want to use.

The problem is at the server running W2000. Even if the laptop is not connected,
the network is still inaccessible. The other computers can't communicate, except
for one that can print through it. All the computers see the network drive which
goes through a switch connected to the router. But they cannot access each others'
drives and files. Very vexing.

It's weird but the problem turned out to be the fact that I did not uninstall a version
of Norton Antivirus on the laptop before installing Norton System Works. What's really
weird is that the problems persisted on the network even with the laptop turned off.
Once I uninstalled the Norton Antivirus, everything returned to normal functionality.
