home network

[Pete]

i've gone thru all the steps for networking two computers
at home, both XP, but just cannot get the two to see each
other. all basic settings suggest it is properly
configured but there is no communication between the two
except on a few occasions when my main PC (dell) was able
to see the secondary PC (gateway). I have a Linksys
wireless-B broadband router and the dell is wired via
from router to PC. the gateway has a wireless USB network
adapter. the workgroup (mshome) is listed on both
computers. both computers have internet access. any ideas
would be greatly appreciated.
