I have a laptop using Windows XP Pro and a desktop using
Windows XP Home, and am using a Linksys router and
Networking card in the laptop. The desktop is connected
via an ethernet cable to the router.

The internet connections work fine on both computers, but
I am unable to share files and to share a printer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Vic
 
can you ping each other by name? also make sure no firewall block the LAN
traffic.
