Hi
I have two computers and they are connected via LAN. The connection seems to work well and even one computer is connecting to the Internet through the other one
But only one thing is bad - eventhough both computers are sharing folders, each computer does not recognize the other - I cannot access any folder on the other computer and it even do not apear in the workgroup! - Each computer show in the workgroup only itself
I have Windows XP on both computers
Please Help
 
Check your Firewall settings. I disabled XPs firewall
and installed a software firewall. The software firewall
blocked all file sharing until I configured the firewall
to allow sharing.
