Thats it! Turned out I had both Windows firewall and Norton Internet
Security
firewall turned on (guess I shouldn't have them both). Switched both off
and
it worked fine with file sharing so I began to look inte the settings.
After
adding the internal IP addresses (192.168.1.33) to the trusted zone in
Norton
and leaving the Windows firewall swithed off it works just fine. Next step
is
to add the printer, haven't trided yet.
Thank you!

You do have a router, and the basic network configuration looks fine.
What
about firewalls on the computers - Windows firewall, third-party
firewalls,
or none?

Ok, thanks. My Zyxel modem has four ethernet ports and I plan to use
two
for
my XP computers and one for a printer. The modem setut web site
displays:
Server DHCP, Client IP Pool starting address=192.168.1.33, Size of
Client
IP
pool=32, Primary DNS Server=Secondary=0.0.0.0, Remote DHCP
Server=N/A,IP
address=192.168.1.1, IP Subnet Mask=255.255.255.0, RIP Direction=Both,
RIP
Version=RIP-1, Multicast=None, Computers IP address=192.168.1.33 and
.34
ipconfig /all shows Primary DNS-suffix=[empty], Nodtype=Unknown on pc1
and
Hybrid on pc2, IP-routing activated=No, WINS-proxy acivated=No, DHCP
activated=Yes, Autoconfiguration activated=Yes, IP address and Subnet
Mask=as
above, Standard Gateway=DHCP server=DNS server=192.168.1.1
I have a Windows Network setup but when I try to click on it in the W
Explorer it times out with an error message like "not available"
I can't see if my problem is in the set up network, in the modem setup
or
elsewhere. Any hints on what to look for?

Define "multiple outputs" please. If you mean one Ethernet port and
one
USB
port, that's not a router and cannot be made to be one. If it has
multiple
Ethernet ports then it may or may not be a router. But in any case
the
device itself MUST be a router or else you'll get ISP addresses
instead
of
local addresses and won't be able to network.

But if you have a DSL modem with multiple outputs (Zyxel Prestige
650HW-31),
is there no way of setting up the network with two XP computers and
a
printer
using that? I can log in to the modem web site and set/see a DHCP
table
etc.

thank you

You need to add a router to your network instead of a network

Right
now each PC is getting a different IP address from your ISP -
aside
from
the
fact that this is a very hazardous configuration (both PCs are
directly
exposed to the Internet) they will never be able to network with
each
other
since they'll have IP addresses in different ranges.

I am try to set a home network, I have DSL modem and network
hub.
With
both
computers running XP home, both can acess the web but can't
see
each
computer. The subnet mask is different on each computer. What
can
I
do
network them together
.
