Hey AT, I had/have that same problem. My brother and I can both access the internet (DSL) but we can't see each other over our home network. We both have Win XP Home. I even paid an IT guy to come and try to make the home network work, in the end things got screwed up really bad, and both my brother and I had to format and re-install. We have basically given up on getting the home network to work.
When we have something we want to share, we send it via e-mail, or if it's big, just burn it to a CD.
Before Win XP, I was running win 98 and my brother was running win NT Pro. We both had access to the net and could see each other fine. So I blame WinXP. it's the only thing that has changed on our systems. And I can't understand how a mixed system 98 & NT could work while both systems running the same OS can't. (Oh, we tried the network setup wizard and created a 'network config' floppy disk. It crashed my system and I had to format and re-install. So stay away from that option.)
Nuf said, Cheers!
