Re: 'Set up a home... network' doesn't work

I notice that although each PC can ping the other successfully using IP address they can't ping using computer name.
Don't know if this relevent.

Internet access for both is fine.

With all firewalls turned off:
Each can ping the other
PC2 cannot see the shared folders of PC1
PC1 can see the shared folders of PC2 and access them.
From PC1 and PC2 if I select 'View Workgroup Computers' only PC2 shows up.
Have run 'Set up a home or small office network' a dozen times on each PC, rebooted et al.

Here is IPCONFIG /ALL from PC1
