if disable Norton or any firewall on both computer, can you ping each other by IP?

I'm trying to establish file sharing between my desktop computer and a
portable computer. The desktop is running Windows XP Professional
SP2. The portable is running Windows XP Tablet Edition SP2. Both are
configured to use Microsoft Windows Network with the default workgroup
name, MSHOME.
Both computers are connected to my broadband modem and can access the
Internet.
When I try to access either computer from the other, Windows Explorer
will not show me the machines on the network. When I click the
workgroup name, Windows Explorer displays a message that says, "MSHOME
is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource.... The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available."
Both machines are firewalled by Norton Internet Security 2007. On
each machine I set Norton's trusted zone to include the other
computer's IP address. The desktop can ping the portable, but the
portable times out when it pings the desktop, for reasons that are not
clear to me.
I have searched the web for advice and found lots of it, but I have
tried all of the suggestions that seemed applicable, without results.
One was to make sure that the registry entry
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous
was set to 0. On the portable it already was; on the desktop it was
set to 1, and I set it to 0, but that did not help. (I accordingly
set it back to 1.)
At this point I'm baffled. Any suggestions are welcome.
