Hi If the network IP changed and the Firewall changed it could be that the current I is Not anymore in the Trusted zone and block sharing. It should be readjusted (read the ESET manual). General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.
