Advanced > Network Identification
Muck around in there a bit...
Also go to your local area connection properties and make sure file and printer sharing is enabled.
do they both have shared folders?
Its not the home version of XP? I don't think that has network capability.

Stop whining ***** :p i used a laptop as my MAIN computer for 2 years until I woke up, saw the light, gathered my last bits of money and built a computer.
In order to share files with NT or XP machines... you need to be sure that the users your are logging on to each system is a valid username (and same password) on the other machine...
