I have a laptop my employer gave me that is set up to wirelessly connect to
our office domain. Works fine with not problem.
Windows XP Pro SP2 installed.
I have a home network with a wireless NetGear Wireless router. I have
sucessfully configured the laptop to connect to the router and have good
Internet access.

Problem: I can not see the other computers and resources on my home
network. MS printer and file sharing is turned on Both in the Connection
Properties General dialog box and in the Windows XP SP2 firewall setting.
