SGT: I did the first thing you said. The only thing I could think that might be an issue in this is 'IP routing enabled' was set to 'no'. I dont' remember how I got it them to ping each other, but that second thing doesn't work. It says 'the network location cannot be reached'. Maybe these two are related?

When you install windows, it will usually create an administrator account for you.  You don't have to enter a pwd.  If you don't, file sharing usually won't work.  You can fix it by going to 'control panel' -> 'administrative tools' and run 'local security policy' and make sure to disable 'limit local account use of blank passwords to console only':

shorthair:
OH, password. I don't know all these abbreviations. On both computers, I'm the administrator. However, there isn't 'local security policy' in administrative tools. I'm using XP.

Make sure you tell each PC WHO is allowed to see or use the share. I create accounts on each of my PC for each user I want to access the shares. I never let everyone in. I also use read only on my shares. Then tyr to UNC to each PC. \\computer1\share-name. I hope some of this helps
