Networking 2 computers

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a new notebook and an existing computer. The computer runs on
XP, the notebook on Vista. I am on ADSL and I now have a new 4-port
Belkin ADSL 2+ modem and all the hardware is working ok. I am trying
to network the two computers so that I can share files (only in case
of a breakdown in either one). I have the printer software installed
on both and it prints on either computer (depending which is hooked to
an ISB port). I am very happy with all of this.

I have given the same name to both network names and HOME as the
generic name. But the network won't work. Is there something else I
should do?
