Wireless Networking Issues Between 2 XP machines

by david.wigley . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

Hi I’m having problems sharing files between 2 computers through my Wireless Router.
Set-up is:
Modem cabled to Wireless Router.
Computer A is an XP laptop that connects to the internet wirelessly.
Computer B is an XP pc that connects to the internet wirelessly also.
I have run the network wizards on both machines, setting up network HOME1, but A and B cannot see each other.
On laptop A, under My Network Places > Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network, the network HOME1 is displayed, and under this it only shows laptop A.
On pc B, under the same structure, HOME1 is shown, but nothing listed under it (not even pc B).
Can anyone help with suggestions as to how I can get the pc to show up under the network, assuming this is the only problem to get the machines to see each other?

There were no errors when I ran the wizard on either machine. All help/suggestions gratfully recieved.

Thanks
