I have 2 computers connected with a Linksys WRT54G router. They are both hard wired to the router.

The problem I am having is that I cannot see the files I am trying to share from my second pc on my main pc. My second pc can see and accesses all the files that I am sharing on my main pc.

I have disabled all software firewalls and still not having any luck. I have run set-up wizard on both pc and they both have the same work group name. File sharing is turned on with both pcs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, maybe check sharing permissions to see that your Main PC account has rights to read your shared folder?

How have you determined they cannot "see" each other. If your answer is Network Places and Network Places only then you have not determined they can't see each other yet. That's the last tool I would use to browse shares. Actually I simply never use it under any conditions. Or lets say I've not been in a situation where I would choose to use it.
