My 2 PCs used to "talk" when they were connected by cable and used ICS. Now I have a Belkin router through which each PC links to the ntl cable - net and I have 'lost' the ability to move files from one machine to the other. The router also has a wireless link to a laptop PC. Each machine works super to the Net (thanks to Stuartbe) but I do miss that machine to machine link.

I temporarily turned off the firewall on each PC on a bais that the router provided a firewall - no effect

When I do Start - My Computer - Right click on Shared Documents - Properties, then under the sharing tab EACH of the machines shows a "tick" for Share this folder on the network and Allow network users to change my files (reasonable since I am the network user). Obviously I have "missed something" - but what?
