Problem networking 2 XP machines

Hi all,

I'm having problems networking two XP Pro machines via a Netgear RP614
router.

I have just moved house and before I moved had 3 machines all cabled up that
were visible to each other and could share files.

The only difference since I have moved house is that instead of being
cabled, the second machine uses a Netgear MA101 and I have connected an
ME102 to the router. The machine connected wirelessly can see the Internet
OK but I cant seem to share files between the two.

If I view workgroup computers on my PC - I can see the other PC there but
cannot access it at all. If I try the same on the wirelessly connected PC I
get a message saying 'Mshome is not accsseible....'

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

This might help you.

I had a problem a couple of years ago where I could not use my network
if the workgroup was a certain name but I can't remember if MSHOME was
the name causing me problems anyway all I did was change the workgroup
name on all the computers and it worked fine after that.
