Networking 2 XP Homes Problem

[CattBoy]

Ok, I recently just added my two computers through a
Linksys router, Both of my computers are dell products,
and both are able to connect to the internet. But when I
am trying to file share between one another I am unable
to do so. Start --> My Network Places --> View
Workgroup computers --> Computer 2 (viewing from computer
1) it just loads and loads and after about 1 min it
says "//home is not accesible, you might need
permission ..... etc etc The network path was not found"
Its just really odd how it knows that the other pc is
there but i cannot look/view/share anything between one
another, Please Help ~Thanks

Hello
They both will have to have the firewalls disabled and the administrator
will have to be logged in with a password.

Don't know if this is the issue, but it should be \\home,
not //home.

Thanks, Jack
