Sharing from XP Home Edition

I have a computer running XP Home Edition and I have not
been able to share a printer or directory to a compyter
from XP Pro. I have the XP firewall disabled, file and
print sharing installed/enabled and have the printer and
directory shared with no restrictions. However, the XP
Pro machine can only see the machine name and not either
of the shares that have been created.

For testing purposes I also tried to share a directory on
the XP Pro machine and also could not view the share from
the XP Home Edition machine (only the machine name can be
seen when browsing).

I am assuming this is a security/authentication issue but
I can't figure out what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using Zone Alarm? ZA can be a problem just installed.
