Connection works in one way

[hint_54]

Hi I have two notebooks connect by cable (crossfire) and all disk drives are shared on both computers. Ping requests work in both ways. The OS is XP Pro. Lets call the computers "targa" and "asus". When in the "asus" machine, I can access "targa" through "my network places" (all the shared folders show up), but when accessing from "targa" to "asus" the folder is empty (not even "targa" shared folders appear). At first, I considered the firewall, but all seams correct, then the cable, but ping works, also a bad network configuration, but it seams that the it was working before (it just doesn't anymore). Any suggestions will be appreciated best regards hint_54

What does folder refer too? My network place? Make which share name that you connect to. Try to read this article[^] on how to share resource in windows xp.
