Can't see other computers on LAN

I've got a couple of pcs (Xp Pro sp2) and a wired router (Linksys
Befsr81)and a wireless router (Linksys wrt54g)

The wired router is set up to provide dhcp

I have my main pc plugged into the wired router via cat 5 and gets an
ip from the Befsr81

The wireless router is plugged into the the wired router and acting as
an access point (DHCP is not enabled on the wrt54g)

My laptop connects via wifi and gets it's ip also from the befsr81

My main pc right now has ip 192.168.1.100
my laptop is 192.168.1.101

I have IIS running on my main pc (trying to learn asp.NET and how IIS
works)

On my main box, I can hit http://localhost/test/test.html
But, from my laptop, I tried http://192.168.1.100/test/test.html and
it couldn't find the page.

Neither machine can see the other existing on the network via ping,
tracert, or http

I have zone alarm on both machines, but turned it off on both when
trying connectivity between them

Any suggestions on what I can do here?!

Thanks,

Tony!

Thanks for the link,

I'll take a look, but I figured that IIS is more like Apache and I
wouldn't need to set up printer or file sharing since I'm not wanting
to actually share any files, just allow the web server service to
manage sending data out over specific porrs it has control over.

Maybe I'm being dense, but this page hasn't helped me.

Besides, wouldn't the user login permissions not really be a reason
why I can't erven get a ping reply from pc-b from pc-a?

I think if it is windows OS then filesharing is a must just dont bind it to
tcp/ip protocol and use netbui (SP???) You also may need other protocols.
