They both have passwords

Does each PC have Users that employ passwords. XP considers a
machine with no passwords a Security risk. Firewall software needs
to be configured to "Trust" the LAN or Router range.

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.

Firewalls are disabled on both computers
