    XP home networking setup

    I'm having trouble seeting up a home network between my PC and laptop. My PC is running XP Pro and laptop XP Home. I've followed all the wizards and have done everything Windows Help says to do but with no success. I have had a home network before on the same computers. Both computters can access the internet with no problem. I am running on a linksys wireless router. Any suggestions or possibly tell me where I could find help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    I'm a novice, but it sounds like all you need to do is go into one of the computers and set the files/printers that you want for sharing. I'm sure that is an obvious step, but who knows.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the reply but I've already tried that. I guess my next question is, can you network XP Pro and XP Home together?
