Greetings.. I am unsucessfully trying to set up my home network with both computers running XP.

Unfortunatley i cant get it to work. I have run the network setup wizard on both computers and assigned the right workgroup name to both but still the computers cannot find eachother.

Any hints/tips/or assistance would be gratefully accepted please.
