You only posted the ipconfig info from one computer, the one connected wirelessly. Need it from both so I can compare the results. May not show anything but it's worth looking at.

Thanks for your precious reply.. !! I have posted that Notepad file above of the other computer that is connected through wire !!

I'm still looking for another article i read recently about this. If i find it i'll get back to you...

Got it... XP Computers in the Windows 7 Network Map

Thanks for your precious reply.. I will check it !

Did you go through all the steps? Can you tell us some results?

Yeah I have gone through all the step you have told me..
Homegroup won't help me because it require that both machines should running on Win 7, and I have win xp and win 7 on each machine.
Secondly, I tried to Install that Hotfix thing.. But as I m using Win Xp SP3, it stopped the installation and said that 'no update required, the OS is upto date'

Please be sure and check these settings:

network set as Home or Work (not public)
All systems on same IPv4 network segment, and member of same workgroup.
Firewall set to allow sharing
network discovery and file and printer sharing both on
Identical username on all systems and at least one folder shared using advanced sharing
Password controlled sharing is optional but recommended

All ready Done all these steps.. But Still can't see either machines..
P.S: My firewall is off, and I'm using Microsoft Security Essential.

Oh Man !! Finally, somehow I've managed to Discover both of my machines, I mean I can see my home desktop PC on the Laptop, and my laptop on my desktop.. !! Thanks God !! and Thanks to you all !!! But still I have a problem, when I tries to open my Desktop's shared files on my laptop currently running win 7 I gets this message.. Photo of the message is attached below!!

P.S: I can acces my laptop's shared files from my desktop !
