Here is my problem, I have two Dell pc running XP Home Edition. They
are connected together via a Dell Truemobile router. I need the fist
pc to be able to share the files with the second. When I got into
network neighborhood, I can see the files on my own pc and I have set
them to be shared. I go to the second pc and open up network
neighborhood and all I see is my network. I have bothe pc's set up
with the same network name. What am I missing.

Hello

Same network name or workgroup name. They are different things. Your
workgroup name should be same and unique netbios names.

Winners dont do different things, they do things differently.

You could look at my setup notes www.acenet.com.au/~johnsuth/winxp.htm
and tell me if they are useful.
