I've got 2 computers in my house, one running XP Home,
and the other running XP Pro. I can share the internet
connection fine, but I can't share files or printers.
The XP Home machine can successfully ping itself by IP
address and name, and can ping the XP Pro machine by IP
address, but not by name (Cannot find host).
The XP Pro machine can ping itself by IP address and
name, but cannot ping the XP Home machine at all (IP
address times out, and cannot find host name). Neither
computer can see the other in the Network Places window.
Strangely, when I double-click the Network Setup Wizard
on the XP Home machine, absolutely nothing happens. So
I've manually named each machine, and joined them to the
same workgroup, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas
what my problem might be? Thanks in advance!
