My LAN consists of 2 computers set up on a "Peer to Peer" configuration. The gateway PC is running XP Professional and the client is runnning ME.
PROBLEM: I go to "Computer Management(local)" on the "gateway" computer and right click and there is no "Networking" tab. I have both Internet and file/sharing connectivity between computers but I can't see the other computer name for the client on the "gateway". Using Windows Explorer, I can see "MY NETWORK PLACES" and all the files we share etc. but there is NO "Entire Network" entry.
Can somebody tell me what error I've made in setting this up?
The "gateway" computer has two network cards (one for the Internet and one for the LAN) and the client has only 1 network card for the LAN.
