Win2k cant see XP-home on P2P but XP sees Win2k

[Rick]

I read through a lot of posts but no one seemed to have
this problem posted.
Windows2000 pro is connnected to Windows xp-home on a
simple p2p net. Win2k can ping xp-home (ping 192.168.1.11)
successfully but the xp-home system does not show up under
win2k's network places. NET VIEW gives 6118 error (list of
servers not available).
However, the xp-home system does see the win2k system
under its network places.
Any ideas how to get the xp-home system to show up on the
win2k's network neighborhood so it can share printers,
etc???
Thanks,
Rick

Never mind! The problem was embarassingly simple. My
NORTON INTERNET SECURITY was blocking the XP pc. The "fix"
was to tell Norton to allow the IP of the XP pc. After a
re-boot Win2k can access and use the shares on the XP pc.
