XP File and Printer Sharing

[dASpot]

Can someone PLEASE talk me through (step by step) how to get it so my roommate and I can share printers and files?? I turned off the ICF firewall and am using Zone Alarm, am using "simple file sharing", connected to a hub, using the same workgroup, yet we still cannot see eachother's computer. Both of us are using XP and have static IP addresses. I have seen nothing on this site that describes how to deal with this problem accept for some user account things that I dont understand. PLEASE HELP!!

Here is a link to a list of several different step-by-step procedures depending on your configuration. You will most likely want the one for "If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure"
