Having problems with message search?
That should get both computers on the same Workgroup. The next thing you need to consider is permissions. Let us know if you can’t access the other computer and we can help with that.
Permissions are always a pain. And rightly so because you want to be sure that access to your computer is not compromised.

System Description:
Primary Computer: HP a6220n running either Vista Home Premium or XP
Professional (problem occurs with either OS).
Secondary Computer: Generic AMD-1200 running XP Professional
The two systems are connected to a Belkin router and both of them can
access the Internet through it (DSL access). But the two systems
cannot talk to each other. The Secondary system can "ping" the Primary
system but the Primary cannot ping the Secondary.
I believe that the Workgroup and Computer names are set correctly.
