I have 2 PCs on a linksys router. From the xp pro pc I can ping the
router & get out on the internet, but I cannot ping the xp home pc.
>From the xp home pc I can ping the pro pc. I am trying to share a
printer that is on the xp home pc, but the pro pc can't see it (or any
shared folders on the home pc). I have firewall disabled.

The xp pro pc replaced a 2000 pc which could share the home pc
resources, so I feel that it is something in the xp pro pc. Any ideas
where to look?
thanks...charlie
