Hi

I was wondering if you could help me. I am trying to network two PC's through a broadband router. One has Windows Xp home editon and the other has Windows 2000 prof. Both access the internet fine. However I want to be able to access printer and file sharing - both ways. So far I have only been able to do it one way, this is by using the run command and typing: //<ip address of other machine> this works fine when accessing Win 200 from Win Xp, but I want to be able to do it the other way as well. Preferably I would like them to be set up in 'My Network Places', but I have had no luck at all.
