windows xp network path not found

I can't share files between my 2 win XP PCs behind a router connected to the internet. when I do a net view on the name of the other, it says "network path not found error 53", whereas a net view on the local name gives everything. A ping to the name of the other works fine as well as internet connectivity via the router. And yes I have netbios enabled over TCP/IP if that can help... any clues ?

The solution for this is buried in the Windows help files. Basically, they don't want you to know how to share files without running your internet connection through a gateway machine--which isn't an option for most set ups.
I got it to work by enabling IPX/SPX protocal and in the Network>Advanced Settings>Bindings bind file sharing to IPX and unbind it from TCP/IP (MS warns against using TCP/IP in this config because its accessable from the internet while IPX isn't). See if that works--and you might be able to find a better explanation somewhere in windows networking help.
