XP home PC - XP Pro Laptop

[AJM]

Hello
Have a Netgear DG834G Wireless ADSL Router.
PC XP Home connected LAN to DG834G
Laptop XP Pro wireless
Shared printing etc all works

I can access all of PC from Laptop via my network places/view workgroup
computers etc no probs
But I cannot access any of the Laptop from the PC, does networking work both
ways?

Is it a set-up issue or a XP to XP home difference, if so is there a work
round?

Thanks for reading

Hello Again
Still confused.
I have pinged each PC from each other - IP address and each can see each
other but I cannot see the laptop from the PC.

Will any results/Settings from my PC(s) help?

Cheers
AJM
