My first time trying the network thing.
I have 2 comps both xp pro, on a dgl-4100, I want to transfer files back and forth between computers. Also one computer has a usb printer, which i would like to print from the other computer.
I have different names for them and same workgroup but not working, so I will start all over from step 1 to step..... which I am hoping to find out here 
preferably just using windows and no 3rd party programs, point form steps would be great.
Thanks a lot the help.
In XP pro turn off simple file sharing.
Are you using the shared folder or different ones?
Does you hd have a name or is it c
only?
Is the printer sharing working?
Check to make sure the firewall is set to allow local trafic.
This is where most of the problems arises from.
