Windows XP, Home Networking, IE7

I have 2 computers that a both using XP attached to a cheap unmanaged hub
which is then connected to Rogers Modem.

Both computers can access the internet. Computer 2 can access the printer
attached to Computer 1. But they cannot see each other. I have shared the
C:
drives on both computers but it just wont work.

Worth noting. Everything was working perfectly until Computer 1 installed
Internet Explorer 7.0.

run the Network Setup Wizard on both machines

Make sure you do the following:
1. Get the latest updates for your computer and its hardware
2. Make sure you have completed the network setup wizard on every computer
3. Check that you have file and printer sharing switched on (Add to your
exceptions list in your firewall)
