Sharing Files?

I have a wireless connection which works fine to access the internet with my
PC which is wired directly to the router and a Laptop which is wireless. The
PC is running XP Pro with all updates installed and I also use Norton
Internet Security. The Laptop is running XP Home with all updates and no
firewall "the windows firewall is disabled". I cannot not share files with
either computer, I have run the network wizard on both computers and do not
have any passwords or logins set. I get the following error message when
trying to see the network:

MShome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.

I ran the IPcongiguration cmd and this is the settings for both computers:

Windows IP Configuration

DHCP Server: 192.168.0.1 ................ Same

DNS Servers: 192.168.0.1 ............... Same

I also read the comment about the LAN setting for the firewall but really
don't know how to open the range of addresses.



If you could give me some guidance it would be appreciated.

I actually figured out what was wrong by myself. It turned out to be my
firewall settings.
