Can't get it to work! Using a Compaq Presario desktop and a Gateway 400SP
laptop, both with Win XP. Computers are connected via Ethernet cables to a
4 port router, which in turn connects to a DSL modem. Both machines can
access the Internet OK, but neither appears on the other's network
connections page. In addition, access to the MS Home network is denied on
both machines, even though administrator login is used. Ideas?

TIA!

Do you have MS firewall enabled?
