Home Networking

Hi,
I have install a Linksys router/switch so I can share two PCs. Everything
install correctly I have internet through the router on both PCs, but can't
get the two PCs to recognize each other. I ran the network wizard which said
everything loading fine, but I still can not share files. I am using XP Pro
w/sp2. Can someone help?
Frank

Same workgroup for both?

Cannot share files or have you not yet opted to open Explorer and select
files/folders to share?

The workgroup name is the same and I have shared the folders I wanted, still
nothing.

What are you using as a firewall? It could be blocking things.
