Solve : Problems connecting to networked computer?

Answer»

So I recently bought and setup a WRT54GL router and installed Tomato for the firmware. However, I'm finding it impossible for me to do sharing. I can set up FOLDERS on my computer to be shared, and can access them on my girlfriend's computer. However, I'm unable to access any folders that she has set to shared, and I'm unable to access her shared printer as well. Am I missing something completely obvious?

We're both running Windows XP. We're both plugged into the router and, as mentioned before, she can access my shared files.

I also TRIED running \\(mycomputer)\c$ from hers and it connected. Again, not vice-versa.1. Windows XP what? HOME Edition or Professional? Original, SP1, SP2, SP3?
