hello to all , first of all a friend recommended these boards so maybe i could get some good advice or a solution for my problem.
it may seem minor to some of you but its giving me a headache for days now.
the setup: 2 computers, one with XP home the other with XP Pro.
My docs, Shared Docs and local disk (HD) are shared out on both machines
the router: linksys befsr81
internet connection sharing: no problems both are online and running great - DSL type 768 dn 128 up
PROBLEM: i can see and access the files that are on the xp home cpu using the xp pro cpu, BUT not the other way around.
on the xp pro cpu i go start>my network places>view workgroup computers - both machines are shown and from there i can do pretty much whatever i want
same path using the home machine gets me nothing
i have no firewall set up not even the xp one is on.
ive run the network setup wiz, with and without using the setup disk.
im at my wits end.....my cpu is mocking me.
im sure its something quite simple, i just HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS !!!
any and all replies are greatly appreciated !! thnx !!
