Home networking problem. Please help.
Hello Bill,
Do you have a personal firewall either Windows Live OneCare, ZoneAlarm, or Sygate on either of the computers? If so, you need to properly configure your firewall for the local area network. An improperly configured firewall can block file and printer sharing.
