network problem with winME and winXP

Hello, I have a weird problem with my network. One computer has winME and my laptop has winXP on it. I can not see the computers at all in the network neighborhood on both computers. But on the winME system, I can access the winXP system only when I do a "search for computers" and it finds it. The XP system can not see the ME computer at all even with the search. Anyhow, I am able to share internet connection between the two, but am unable to share files and printers. Why is this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
