i have a network set up with 1 xp pro machine and one xp
home machine. Both computers are abel to be seen in
mshome, and the xp pro can acess all shared files on xp
home but xp home cant even see the shared files on xp pro
or anything
 
make sure no firewall block the LAN traffic, what do you get if using net
view \\xpname?

If you have Macafee Personal firewall (Or others perhaps)
try setting them to allow inbound access for the IP
address of the other system. I just did it and now can
see the WIN98 machine from the XP-Pro machine (including
the HP printer !) and vice-versa
