I have 2 computers XP Home Edition that I am trying to share files. It is a
wireless network and they can both see the internet. I shared folders on each
following several links posted here and it appears to be set up correctly.
However they can not see each other. They are in the same workgroup etc.
Anyone have anything additional to try.

Hi
May be this can Help.
Read first the whole page (I.e. resist the urge to click on any of the
links).
Once you understand the general scope start to investigate the links that
concern your specific setting.
