Networking 2 computers

[Guest]

I've setup a wireless network with 2 desktops. Computer2 can see all of the
folders I share on Computer1, however I can't see any of the shared folders
on Computer2 from Computer1. In fact it seems that Computer1 isn't part of
the network because it doesn't even see Computer2. But it is in the network
since Computer2 can access files on Computer1....any ideas?

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
