Help setting up windows xp home network

[firsttube]

I have 2 computers at home. Both are connected to the internet via a wired router. The internet works fine on both. I want to network these computers together to share files and printer.

I have gone through the windows network connection wizard on both computers. In windows explorer the network name shows, but not the other computer.

How can I see one computer in the other to acccess files, etc?

why don't you try accessing the other comp by IP address in explorer or start > run > type in \\192.168.X.X

If you have set remote permissions correctly or able to log in via the local admin should be OK.

You'd be much better off asking the question in forum779
