XP pro cannot see XP home on home network.

I have to computers in a home network. The machine connected directly to the internet ( xp pro ) cannot se the other machine ( xp home )

The machine connected to the Internet thru the main machine can see the other machine and use the shared files.

I have tried: Ping, ok both ways. Disabling firewall, doesn’t help. I have run the networking wizard many times. Both machines are members of the same workgroup ( MSHOME )

Please help, I am going mad !
