    I'm working with two laptops and a dialup internet connection.

    Computer#1
    WinXP (Media Center) with built-in Wireless NIC. Norton Personal Firewall.

    Computer#2
    WinME with a Belkin PCMCIA Wireless NIC. Norton Internet Security.

    Dialup can be on either connection, but I generally like to use #1.
    Both computers say that the connection itself is working fine -- "excellent, 11mbps," etc.

    I have the same workgroup on both, with unique names.

    On #1, I can see #1 in "my network places ", but not anything from #2. On #2, I can't see anything.

    I have sharing enabled and folders shared.

    I've done all the wizards I can figure out to do, but nothing has made it work yet. Oh, I can't share the internet connection either.

    I've worked on this for HOURS :mad: and can't seem to find whatever is missing to make it work... Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    What IP Addresses do these systems have? (XP > Start > Run >cmd, then ipconfig.) (ME > Start > Run > command, then winipcfg)

    Are they able to ping one another using the address? The computer name?
