Can you help me with a file sharing problem?

I have 2 computers in a workgroup. Computer1 accesses the network by wired connection to the router, Computer2 by wireless connection.

Computer1: XP Home edition, sign on user account = Owner (no password), simple file sharing is on (no choice).
Computer2: XP Pro (Media Center Edition), sign on user account = Owner (no password), simple file sharing is on.

Computer1 can see and open shared files on Computer2. Computer2 can see but NOT open shared files on Computer1. When I try to open a shared file a window pops up with the heading “Connect To COMPUTER1”, beneath that is a set of keys, beneath that “Connecting to COMPUTER1, beneath that “user name” with a protected drop down box that says “COMPUTER1\Guest”. Beneath that “password” with a box to enter a password (there is no password). Clicking OK does nothing.

Thank you.
