Windows XP professional compatable with XP home for file sharing?

Hi

Is anybody aware aware of compatibility problems between XP home and XP
professional. I am attempting to help a friend who is wanting to share
a printer and files between his desktop and laptop, one of which has
Home and the other Professional. I cannot recall which way round it is.


The system is using Netgear and is sucessfully sharing a broadband
connection. Whatever we seem do we cannot get it to see each other for
printer and file sharing purposes.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
