I have searched through the posts and am getting no-where.
I have set up the network between 2 PC's running XP Pro+SP2.
The icons tell me both local connection are OK.
I am using a Linksys residential gateway and both PC's contact the net.
How do I communicate between the PC's to drive/fileshare and printer share?
Run the Network Setup Wizard (in Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Communications) on both computers. If the Wizard finds the router's
shared Internet connection, tell it to use that connection.
Otherwise, tell it that the computers connect to the Internet through
a residential gateway (router).
The Wizard will enable file and printer sharing, create a Shared
Documents folder, and share all printers.
If you have a firewall program (Norton, McAfee, PC-cillin, ZoneAlarm,
etc), configure it to allow access by other computers on the local
area network.
To share a folder, right-click it and select Sharing and Security from
the menu.
To see the shared folders on the other computer, click Start > Run,
type the other computer's name in the box as shown below, and click
OK:
\\computer
You might also be able to see the other computer's shared folders in
My Network Places, although that doesn't always work reliably.
That's exactly how I have been setting up the network.
I did it again but still receive the message "\\Perrins2 ( the second PC)
No network provider accepted the given network path.
What can I do now?
The Network Setup Wizard is a good place to start. If your computer isn't
properly setup, though, it won't give you the right results. You'll have to
find the problem.
First, look for a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other
security component.

Thanks for your help Chuck.
The PC's still can't see each other but your suggested paths to sort out the
problem are beyond me.
OK, let's try and diagnose the problem, together. Provide "browstat status",
"ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each
computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):
