Re: Networking new Windows XP Laptop with an old Windows 2000 desktop

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.

I recently purchased a Windows XP laptop and have a Windows 2000 desktop at
home. I would like to set up a home network and already have a Linksys
router. I have both computers connected to the router and have no
problems
accessing the internet from either computer, but neither of the two
computers
can find each other. I have shared one specific folder on each computer
and
have put them under the same workgroup name. Does anyone have any
suggestions on what I can do to make them talk to each other?
