10.4.7: Problems with computer to computer network

Question

Since updating both my computers (G4 Powerbook and G5 desktop)to OS 10.4.7 the computer to computer network doesn´t work anymore. When accessing network connections the computers just don´t show up which they have done before the update.
No problems with the Internet connection though, everything works well.
I have seen some threads where network problems have been described but I didn´t find a workaround. Is there any solution to the computer to computer network problem?
Thanks very much for your help

Hi all,
I have the exact same problem.
When my PowerMac used to have 10.4.6 it was no problem to connect via Finder's Command-K from my MacBook Pro running 10.4.7.
But now, after I updated my PowerMac to 10.4.7 this doesn't work anymore.
As Wolfgang said, Internet works fine from every computer in my local network. The Mac mini (Intel) runs 10.4.7, too, and I can connect from the MacBook Pro to the Mac mini (and vice versa) without any problem.
But connecting from & to the PowerMac (Dual G5 2.7) with 10.4.7 doesn' work.
I did the update via the online Software Update procedure. It sometimes seems to be better to not use this but download the full installer and use this for the update.
I'll try that soon and tell you how it comes out.
Cheers,
Stefan.
