Pls help…how to create network among two computers?
Since the ping command works and you get a response, we can assume the network is working and configured properly on both computers. Therefore, the problem is most likely with firewall settings. If you’re on a private (and relatively secure) network, temporarily disable the firewalls on both computers. If it works with firewalls disabled the issue is clearly firewall settings. The article below tells you what network and firewall settings you need to enable file and printer sharing on a Vista system (including what ports need to be opened in 3rd party firewalls). The principle is the same for XP and Win7.
