Ok, assuming that both machines are on XP..........

Do you have to put in a user name and password when you log into both machines?

My memory is a bit hazy but I know that I read somewhere that XP (and the other OS's that work along the sime lines) will only allow you to access a networked machine if you are logged in with a valid username and password.

You only mention the problems with files above, did you get the printers working?

Do you have a firewall running on either machine?

Can you PING one machine from the other? (One of the more network minded bods should be able to tell you how to do that)
