Cannot Access Shared Folders across a Wireless Network

[Guest]

I have one PC (Study) with Windows XP Professional SP2 (upgraded from Windows
98) and a second PC (Kitchen)(with Windows XP Home Edition SP2. The first is
connected by USB to a BT Voyager 2091 Wireless ADSL Router and the second has
a Belkin Wireless Network Card. The Wireless network seems to be OK and the
second PC can access the internet via it. The first PC (Study) can see the
shared folders on the second PC (Kitchen), but not the other way around.

Any Ideas please?

Rich,

If you have the Windows Firewall enabled on the machine that will not let
you see shares, make sure File and Printer Sharing is checked as an
exception. If you are using a 3rd party firewall, you must allow NetBIOS
traffic. See this URL for more:
