I have cable comcast modem (Broadband) that I have hooked into a Netgear
Wireless router which then hooks into PC with Windows XP Pro.

I have a wireless card in a PC in other room that runs Office 2000 Server
but not being used as a server as of now.

I can see the internet on both systems fine. Problem is I cant get the PCs
to see each other. I have set up both as Workgroup call HOME with Computer
name different for each PC.

Any suggestions where I can find solution?

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

Are the software firewalls running to block acces to themselves?

Do you have File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networs
installed in your protocol list?
