I don't think I am explaining my problem too well...Let me give some
more specifics and what I think I want:

The Router is a Linksys w/built-in Firewall. One system is XP Home
and one is XP Pro. I cannot "ping" them so I guess the firewall is
blocking and not sure how to configure.

I hooked up a laptop (win98) and was able to "ping" it but, could not
get the folders to be shared.

BTW, one on the units (xp home) does not have the Simple Sharing
option but the other one does.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Joe
