now each PC is getting a different IP address from your ISP - aside from the
fact that this is a very hazardous configuration (both PCs are directly
exposed to the Internet) they will never be able to network with each other
since they'll have IP addresses in different ranges.

Tom Jones said:Thats it! Turned out I had both Windows firewall and Norton Internet
Security
firewall turned on (guess I shouldn't have them both). Switched both off
and
it worked fine with file sharing so I began to look inte the settings.
After
adding the internal IP addresses (192.168.1.33) to the trusted zone in
Norton
and leaving the Windows firewall swithed off it works just fine. Next step
is
to add the printer, haven't trided yet.
Thank you!
