Sharing files between XP home computers

Both hooked to a router/dhcp enabled. IP is not the issue
seeing as I am able to share one way on the network.
 
I had a similiar problem with two XP machines until I
set "computer browser" to automatic and started the
service on both computers.

To enable the service click start->run->then
type "services.msc" Scroll down to "computer browser"
and make sure it is set to automatic and started.

I believe the Network Location Awareness service is also
required.

Hope that helps.
