No PCs displayed on the Network

[Tom]

-- I have a Linksys wireless network with two PC's on it,
one with Windows ME and the other with Window XP

-- I ran through the home network wizard

-- On both computers, Workgroup = Mshome

-- When I select entire network on one of the computers, I
can only see that computer on the network and not the
other computer.

-- Why can't I see the other computer on the network?

Appreciate any help, Thanks

Greetings Tom,

Make sure the XP's firewall is disabled. It will block file and printer
sharing by default. If you are running any third party firewalls such as
ZoneAlarm, Sygate, or Norton Internet Security make sure it is properly
configured for the local area network and not blocking access between the
machines.
