File/Print Sharing with XP Home and Win2K

[Guest]

I can't share my files or printer on a Win2K desktop with my XP Home laptop?
I can share just fine from one Win2K desktop to another.

If I goto "My Network Places" on the Win2K desktop(s) I can "see" the laptop
on my network domain (MSHOME) but cannot access the shares on the laptop.

If I goto "My Network Places" on the XP home laptop, I can see ONLY the
network domain (MSHOME) but when I click on the domain, it is "not
accessible".

Can you help please?

Asymmetrical ability to see one computer from the other is a commonly reported
problem here.
