not working! ive went to "view workgroup computers" in network connections and my laptop is there on my laptop BUT on my pc when i go to view workgroup computers i get the following error mesage

"MSHOME is not accesible,you might not have permissions to use the network resource.contact the adminstrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions. the list of servers for the workgroup is not currently avaliable"

does it matter that my laptop is running on xp home and my pc is running on xp pro sp2?

also how do i ping to see if each computer is seeing each other?
