Hello,
I'm having a problem with my 2 Windows XP Home computers. I can't network
them together for some reason.

Anyone?

There are many reasons.
Post the results from ipconfig/all for starters.
Describe the process you used to setup each computer.

Your diagnosis "I can't network them together..." lacks detail.  Try and provide
some information, so we can help you better.

One of the most common causes of many networking problems is a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.
