Hi

You need to define what is to be shared.  You need to enable file and =
printer sharing.  Then you need to select the folders you wish to share =
on each of the machines.

You've got all your equipment, pots and pans, to make your cake.  Now =
you need to choose which of your ingredients that you wish to mix =
together.

I hope that the above isn't too abstract for you.

Hi kevin, Take a look in my network places its on the desktop (XP). If
windows has successfully created the network it should be listed their =
by
name. It maybe in the top level or it maybe under entire network.

Both computers should be listed and depending on if its working =
correctly
you should be able to access the files and folders by pressing enter on =
the
name of the computer. If your firewall is blocking access you will get =
an
access denied message.
