Can't connect to LAN

I have a Vista computer hard-wired to a Linksys 802.11g router, and an
XP computer using a wireless connection with 128-bit WEP. Both can
access the Internet, and both are in the same workgroup, but they
cannot see each other. What settings do I need to change?

TIA,
Martin

If you turn off the firewall, can you ping each other by IP? Or this link
may help.

I found the problem, which was my Norton firewall. When I turned it
off, I could ping both computers and they can now map to each other.
Thanks for the help! Wanna buy a used Norton 360, cheap?
