2 computer network.

#1 runs Win XP Home. Can view shared folders on #2, has full internet
access, is seen by DSL gateway. Guest user is turned on. File sharing is
turned on, folders have been shared.

#2 can't see #1 in Network Places. When path is entered in the Run command
field "The network path was not found" error is returned.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The problem is with NetBT - either the setting, or with a firewall. What
antivirus protection do you have?

Check the NetBT setting - make sure that it is Enabled, explicitly.
