Both machines access the internet via a DSL through a
Linksys 4 port router, and that is working fine. The
WinXP Machine is using Norton Internet Security, I have
the XP firewall turned off, I have the computer names
different and the workgroups named the same. I am still
unable to share files or printers, I have even tried
turning off Norton still no luck.

Hi Tim,

Make sure File and Printer sharing is enabled and that
you've shared your desired folders and/or disks on the
machines you want to share. Make sure your firewalls are
configured properly or disabled/removed while
troubleshooting. Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on all
machines.
