Workgroup sharing

I have a question for network workgroup sharing.
I have done all my computer under one workgroup and every computer can see
each other when i click at view my workgroup computer. But after some time,
few of my computer running xp pro when i click at the view workgroup computer
link, it doesnt have any respond on it and i cant even go in and view those
workgroup computers, this problem doesn't happen at computer running vista
business. After i restart the computer then it work again and when i leave it
some time then it happen again. I try to find solution through the internet
but i can solve it until now. When this problem happen, the Window
firewall/Internet Connection Sharing services is stop and i cant start it
before i restart my computer. It will prompt me what what ics cant
started....Can you tell me what should it do to solve this problem? Thanks....

Not really a Media Center related question.

If you removed the Internet Sharing and bought a Router and installed in
your network you would have a lot less problems with internet and
network sharing.

Four port (4 computers) Routers start at around $50-60 in the USA.
