Can see the Mshome on both PCs
Can't see each othe;direct connect (X cable) or Hub, or router won't help

Vista PC has this settings:
In vista Network and Sharing:
1 network discovery:ON
2 file sharing:ON
3 public folder sharing:ON
4 password protected:OFF
I am a novice in networking and need help.

Thanks,

Do a simple test. If turn off the firewall, can you ping each other by IP?
