Are you saying that your wife hooked up the laptop to the new computer? If so then how did you connect both the systems? And if you want to fix common Windows Firewall problems then click the Fix it button to automatically diagnose the issues related to firewall from this link - http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wind...all_diagnostic

no she logged on to the home network and after that, the network sharing is no longer available, the printers dont work. and i cannot get into windows firewall at all.

we had four computers on thenetwork. now only two work, and sharing and discovery cannot be turned on.

Have you gone through event viewer?? Just go through it and check out if there is any error. If you find any, than add it in your next post for further help.
