"Dazed":
I have a post about a closely related problem.
I have an XP machine and an ME machine on a home network. Both can get to
the Internet, but they can't see each other on the My Network Places (XP
machine) or Network Neighborhood (ME machine) and access each others files
nor can the ME machine print to the USB printer connected to the XP machine.
Can you do the things I cannot do? Love to hear if you received a simple,
easy-to-follow solution.
Thanks,
jwolfdog
