    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?

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