    I think you meant can't! [8D]

    You need to share folders on your machines so they can be seen by others on the network. Then you can browse to the folders via My Network Places.

    Check the firewall setting on XP. When u install SP2 all the settings are set back to default which might restrict u to access other comps on the network...... just to check turn off the firewall for a while and then try connecting.... if it works then start working on the settings......
