Home networking

[Guest]

Main computer running windows xp Home, 2nd computer running XP Pro. 2nd
computer shares internet through Linksys wireless router, but is connected to
it with network cable. Both connect fine to the internet, buth neither can
see the other on the home network. The 2nd computer can't find the printer
attached to the main computer either. Ran Home Network Wizard on both. Set
both to file and print sharing. Both drives are set to share. In the past I
didn't have to mess with any Linksys settings. Please tell me what I'm
missing. I hope I've given enough info. If not please tell what you need.
Thanks.

Check your firewall assuming you have one. I had problems setting up a
wireless network and print server until I discovered that Zone Alarm was
blocking them.
Disabled ZA, XP firewall already turned off, configured the router and print
server then turned ZA back on.
All's working well now.

Can the Home machine 'see' the folders on the Pro system? Mine can't
and am looking for a solution.
