Networking - Win XP Pro

Hello All,

Hopefully someone can help me with this networking problem I have.

I have 2 Laptops working on a home network, both wireless, connecting through a Netgear ADSL/Router. Both are running XP Pro SP2, One has ZA firwall the other McAfee. Both are on the same workgroup.

My problem is that both PC's can see each other, but the cannot share or talk to each other, file sharing is on on both and I have set the firewalls to allow the local IP addresses.

I continue to get \\Computer not accessable blah blah blah...Network path not found. I can't ping or net view either PC either.

It's doing my head in, all I want to do is share some files and sync my email over the network and it's just becoming a real mssion. I thought XP Pro was meant to make networking EASY??

Any help greatly appreciated
