Networking with SP-2

[Baqar Rizvi]

I've recently made a clean installation of XP on 2
computers in my home. Both are fully updated to include
SP2.

My Problem is that I want to network my 2 computers, and
Cable modem. All 3 are plugged into the same Hub, and
both computers get an internet Connection, however they
cannot detect eachother in My Network Places. I'm fairly
sure I have configured them properly, however with SP2 in
the equation I have my doubts.
your assistance would be much appreciated.

You need to configure the Windows firewall to allow your home network
computers to have access to each other.
