Can not access host computer from the workgroup

My Mother's computer is the host computer, she is running Windows XP-Pro, I
am using Windows XP-Home. Her comupter is connected to the internet through
a cable modem with a Wireless G Broadband Router also attached. I can access
the internet through the wireless connection, my sister can also from her
laptop. My sister can print to my mother's printer, but I can not. When I
try to access my mother's computer through the workgroup, it is not
accessible, it says network path not found.
