Feeling like an idiot here...

Replaced rental cable modem with new Linksys WCG200.

Plugged in pc (Win2K pro), able to reach internet.

New WinXP pro is laptop with wireless, able to reach internet.
***********************

Just can't figure out how to see C:\ on Win2k from laptop to copy over
files.

On PC I've shared the C:\ drive, set permissions to everyone, but can't see
it in neighborhood from laptop...

Laptop is basically untouched as far as settings, it is a Dell straight out
of the box.

PC is Win2k pro running Norton Internet Security 2003.

Tried disabling NIS, still can't see PC from laptop...

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to disable the XP firewalls on both
machines ?
