Can not see XP based Computer under MSHOME.

Can not see XP based Computer under MSHOME. I never had this issue before and what I need to do is share a printer on the XP desktop and have it installed on a Windows 7 laptop. Any ideas why?

Hi Beta,

Make sure that you have your Files and Printer configured properly.

Verify that Netbios is enabled in XP.

If you have any Firewall or Security software installed in both computers, disabled them for now.
