The problem is still occuring. I've troubleshot the situation using the tips
on the wesite from Chuck, I turned off the firewall from Windows. I searched
for the computer using search. The only folders showing up in the local
network is the shared folders on that particular computer. Any suggestions?
I know that the two are talking that isn't a problem. The two computer names
are the names in (Home) next to the shared files right? I am getting
frustrated. I thought that this was going to be easier than it has turned
out. I hope I don't sound like a whiner, but, I don't like to consume one
hundred percent of my time with pc's anymore and am finding it hard not to
unless I come up with a solution.

Thanks.
