Wireless Networking a Mess

I have XP Home and XP Media Edition 2005. I already have them sharing a
wireless internet connection, but, I cannot make them network to each other
or the printer. The printer is also on a printer server in order to make it
ethernet compatible with the wireless router. Both computers are wireless to
the router. The networking wizard does not help at all. How do I fix this??

Now I am even more frustrated. The info you gave me earlier only worked on
one of them. I even had to change it to get it to work. Here is some
information that might be of assitance.

Old PC: Windows XP Home Edition SP2
New PC: Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 SP2 ( pro)

Both of them recognize each other by name in "cmd" with actual IP addresses
With MCE 2005, this is the only info that is missing or marked as "no"

Windows IP Configuration



Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : rachie022480

Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :

Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown

IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
