Network personal desktop with work laptop

[Terry]

The XP firewall was not enabled on either machine. I use
MAC address filtering instead of WEP since I only use 2
or 3 computers to connect to my home network and it
provides better security than WEP.

Additional feedback on the original question
appreciated :)
