2 XP PC, cannot share between them

Hi,

I've read some prev posts...and tried some suggestions but still have the following issues:

2 desktops...XP Home SP2
Connected to same linksys router, wired
Separate workgroups

Computer 1 - Printer connected to, file printer sharing on, printer shared "Dell "
Firewall Off, Workgroup1

Computer 2 - FPS off, Firewall off, Workgroup2

Prev I was able to see the shares on Computer 1, as well as print to it. Rarely used, but when I went to do this today, I was unable to connect to the printer.

I can no longer see the workgroup of Computer 1.

Computer 1 can see Computer 2 but not vice versa.

What am I doing wrong? Any other questions please ask

Thanks for your help

 

Thanks for the reply.

I'm pretty sure this should work if they are in separate workgroups though right? I had it working before but I am not sure what has changed. Id prefer to keep them in separate workgroups if possible. Any other ideas?
