Here is my situtation. I have 2 computers with XP home,
connected to a hub. I setup on system using the Network
Wizard and then made a disk. I put the disk in the other
system and ran the wizard as well, just like the
instructions say. When I browse the network, I see the
workgroup name "mshome", but when open it I only see the
system that I am on and not the other computer.
Any advice. Thanks.
 
did you turn off both firewalls on your xp machines. if
not that is why they can not see each other. to
accomplish this go to your control panel, network
connections. right click on the icon and get properties.
once open on top should see 3 tabs. click on advanced and
you should see a box if check mark is in that box remove
from both pc's

I disable both firewalls for my dial-up connection, but this still did not work

Any Suggestions

Thanks in advance
