networking Xp Home and XP Pro

Guest

I am trying to network 2 computers, one with XP home and one with XP pro,
through a d-link DI-604 router. The internet works fine on both computers,
but there is no file or printer sharing. The XP pro computer recognizes the
XP home, but the XP home doesn't recognize the other. Although, I can ping
the XP pro computer from the DOS prompt with both the computer name and the
IP address from the XP home computer. Hopefully this is a quick fix.
