Home networking

[Guest]

I have 2 computers, both running Windows XP. They both can access the
internet w/o problem through my wireless DSL connection. However, they
cannot see each other on the home network. I have used the Network Setup
Wizard all kind of ways w/o success and Microsoft's posted help on the
subject dates back to 2005. It talks about disabling bridges connections
from My Network Places --> Properties but that does not exist.

Please help.

have you made sure they are in the same workgroup? if your unsure try the hlp
file if not let me kinow and i will give you more info, also are you runnuing
a firewall? windows or other wise? you may need to tell it to allow sharing,
also have you shared the resources? drives, printers? right click on a drive
and you will see "sharing" once you share the drive you will see a hand under
the drive in the my computer section
