New home network - how do i browse computers?

[jim5000]

I have setup a newwork between our 2 computers using a router today. Both are accessing the internet fine, but I can't work out how to look at one computer from the other.

I have turned file sharing on and set the drives I want to be accessable, but can't find them from the other computer. I've run the home networking wizard on both machine, both are in the workgroup 'MSHOME'. I'm sure its something simpel\silly that i've not done, but don't know what it is.

Can anyone help me?

Type mshome in the address bar of an explorer window, anything come up?

have you checked in "My Network Places" ?

also on one of the PCs try this

Start
Run
CMD <ENTER>

in the black box type in

ipconfig <ENTER>

take note of the IP address, then on the other machine goto

Start
Run
//xxx.xxx.xx.xx <ENTER>

where x are the numbers

then it should hopefully display the other PCs folders, also check for 3rd party firewalls as they could be blocking the connection

hope this helps
