    I just bought a DLink DI-514 802.11b wireless router. PC #1 is a Intel D845gvsr with onboard lan running Windows XP Pro with SP2, it is hard wired to the DI-514. PC #2 is my gf's Dell with a dlink dwl wireless card upstairs, running Windows XP Home with SP1. I ran network setup wizard on both PC's and they both have unique computer names, and they both have the same workgroup name (MSHOME) and it says filesharing is enabled on both of them. I checked the sharing options on a few folders on each pc too. Firewalls are disabled on both PC's and my router has VPN shit enabled. PC#1 can not see #2 on the network, nor access any files. PC#2 can see #1 on the network, but can't access or see any folders or files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
