File and print sharing doesn't work after installing router

[Phyphor]

I just replaced MS ICS with a Linksys BEFSR81, and now I can't access shares on other machines.
The process I used:

1 - Before installing the router, I removed the network bridge that ICS creates on the machine that was connected to my DSL modem, and set BOTH real machines (I use VMWare as I'm in college to be an MCSE, <g> How embarrassing. :P ) to DHCP.

2 - After installing the router, both machines can access the internet, but neither can 'see' each other. (I can't ping one machine from the other, as a matter of fact, virtual machines can't even ping the host machine anymore, )

3 - The router is apparently able to get the NETBIOS hostnames of both machines, as they appear in the routers DHCP client table,

So, what do I try now? Any ideas?

Was coming to post the exact same thing so will keep my eye on this thread.

Phyphor, have you a firewall running? I shut mine down and it allowed fie sharing again...

[Phyphor]

I installed IPX/SPX on both real machines, and got filesharing working.

Ping still didn't work, and I gave up on it last night.

NOW Ping seems to be working again, go figure.
(I went ahead and 'retrained' Norton's Firewall again, so it seems to be ok, )

Hope this helps anyone else with this trouble,

Actually the router wont affect your network "If and only If it is behind the router" check your workgroup and ip addressing and make sure that no firewalls installed in your computer.
