Have been unsuccessfully trying to network my desktop (XP-SP2) and laptop
(XP) computers. I don't even care about internet sharing, just file sharing.
I have them connected with and ethernet switch and they both show themselves
in the workgroup but not each other.
After reading some posts, I did turn on "guest" on both. Please help, I
thought this was supposed to be easy with the "Wizard"!!
Thanks.
