View Workgroup Computers

Hi,
I have a small home network connected as follows:
- My Desktop (Server) wired
- My Laptop (Client) wireless
- One Printer
- Linksys router WAG354G V.2
- OS on both computers: WXP Pro SP2 fully updated
Both computers have a static IP address.
I have shared the printer and a few folders in my desktop, of course the
workgroup name is the same on both machines.
I also configured my firewall (ZA free edition) and the result is OK, from
my laptop I can share the printer and access the folders on my desktop.
The question is the following:
If I click "View Workgroup Computers" on my desktop, I see nothing
If I click ""View Workgroup Computers" on my laptop, I see only the icon of
my laptop but not my desktop.
I read on some forums that this is because I don't use the NetBEUI protocol,
but I also read that while it might solve the problem, it opens to security
issues.
In addition, being both OS WXP Pro, I should not have any problem and that
using TCP/IP should be fine.
This is the theory, the reality is what I described above.
Can anybody help me to solve the dilemma?
Thank you
Alex
