Win XP Workgroups

[Joe]

Hi. I have Win XP SP2. I have a Linksys wireless router and a desktop
and laptop which are acting up. The Desktop is connected with Ethernet
from the router, and the laptop is wireless. Both computers are in the
same workgroup. when I go to my network places and click on 'view
workgroup computers', both computers show up. But when I double click on
the other computer, it tells me that it is not found or I may not have
permission to use this network resource. Same thing happens if I type
\\HOM1\ from the desktop (HOM1 is the computer name of the laptop) or
\\HOS1\ from the labtop (HOS1 is the name of the desktop).

I need to share folders and a printer but it wont let me. For example,
if i type in the address bar \\HOS1\SharedDocs to access a shared
folder, the same message I described above comes up. On HOS1, I gave
Full control permissions to everyone in the security tab and sharing tab
when I right clicked the folder.

Any help please? Thanks in advance.

What about your Firewall settings?

What about your Firewall settings?

Both systems have firewall disabled.
Sorry I forgot to mention this in my original message.
