network set-up

[Guest]

Let me start by saying I am a networking "noob". I have two computers running
xp pro. One is connected to a dsl gateway via ethernet. The other is
connected to same gateway via wireless. Both computers connect to the
internet great but I cannot seam to share files/printers between computers. I
have gone thru the home network set up wizard and the wireless network set up
wizard. Still no luck. What have I left undone?

Tony,

The description "cannot seam to share files/printers between computers" is
pretty vague - way more detail is needed.

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, but there are other possibilities too. What
antivirus products do you use?

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:
