Can't get network to go

P

Pete

I am trying to network two WinXP-SP1 computers through a
Linksys wireless G router. My setup is DSL modem to
router; router wired to PC No. 1, and router to PC No. 2
wireless. Both PC's successfully connect to the internet
via the router and DSL modem.

I ran the Network Connection Wizard on both computers
using the "connected through a residential gateway"
option, the figure-it-out-for-me option (Can't remember
exact name), and the same workgroup name on both PC's,
and the Wizard seemed to finish successfully.

When I click Start/My Network Places/View workgroup
computers on either computer, only the local computer
shows up, and when I click on Shared Documents, only the
shared folders and documents on the local computer show
up.

BTW, I'm using ZoneAlarm Pro on both PC's. After I ran
the Wizard ZoneAlarm opened a window saying new network
detected, and I checked the "Trusted' radio button.

Help. Suggestions?
