Cannot Access Other Windows XP Computers on Network

Hi there,

Using 5570 on Leopard 10.5.1. No problems at all (thank goodness) except for the fact that I was able to access my 2nd Windows XP computer in Leopard prior to installing Parallels 5570. Now I have Windows XP installed on my iMac and I'm unable to establish a connection with the 2nd XP computer. This after shutting the computer down.

I think I'm missing something here, but I'm hoping someone else can assist me to gain access to the other computer again. I had enabled the WinXP Network originally on the 2nd PC (to Leopard). I have now installed the networking on XP on my iMac. Perhaps this shouldn't have been done? If so, how to safely remove it from XP on iMac.

Otherwise, what am I missing to establish the connection from XP/iMac to 2nd XP PC. Unable to establish connection in either Leopard to 2nd XP PC or from WinXP iMac to 2nd PC (or vice versa in both cases).

Any help much appreciated. Problem is I have files on the 2nd PC that I need to move to my iMac and the CD Burner on this old 2nd PC doesn't work too well. Therefore, the networking is essential!

Thanks so much!

Lynn
