HELP
I have a desktop running xp pro
my other is a notebook running xp home
They are connected to the internet thru a router (cable)
I cannot figure out how to share files between the two.
I have checked that the workgroup name is the same.
subnet mask is the same.
The notebook appears in the list of workgroup computers on my desktop, but I
cannot access it .
I have tried disabling the windows firewall, but that seems to make no
difference. The files I wish to share have sharing allowed. I am stumped.
any hints???
even changed user accounts to be identical.....

.
