Okay, I am connecting two xp home computers with a crossover cable. Machine 1 has IP 192.168.0.1 and Machine 2 has IP 192.168.0.2. The machines ping each other successfully, both have run through Network wizard, both have no firewall running, and neither are bridged. Machine 2 sees Mshome group and sees Machine 1 and Machine 2, but when clicking on Machine 1, which I have designated My Documents to share, I get the message that the it is not accessible and the "network path was not found." Machine 1 doesn't even see Mshome. I have networked this way before without a problem. I can't figure out what's going on now.
