sharing folders over network

sI have setup network, and internet connections are working well on both
computers
One running xp the other 2000 profesional. They are connected using a
Linkseys WRT54GC router. I cannot share the files on the two compyters even
though I have turned on fie sharing. When I try to find computer in veiw
workgroup folder on xp I get message that I might not have permission and to
contact administrator.
When I click oncomputers near me on 2000 compI get only a folder with its
own icon. Please what is happening?

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
