I currently have a host computer running XP Pro SP2 and a Client Laptop
running XP Home SP2 both connected through the internet with a linskys
router.
I have turned off the firewalls on both machines and simple file sharing is
enabled on the Pro Host. I have run the home network wizard and both
computers have the same name for their workgroup. My host (Pro) can see
both computers in the workgroup and can access the laptop's share folder, but
on my laptop I can see both computers in the workgroup, but cannot access my
desktop nor see it's shared folders. I have read that it should be a
firewall problem, but that is off on both machines.
I have tried turning on and off Internet Connection Sharing on my laptop,
but nothing.
Please help,
