I own a desktop xp pro (sp2) and a wireless G network card and also a laptop xp pro sp2 with wifi. I setup the workgroup with the same name and I am able to share the internet connection but I am unable to see the other computer from either folders for "view workgroup computers". How can I add them? The shared folders of the other computer are not shown as well.

The usual cause of such network problems art the firewalls. You should configure it to allow access to "trusted zone" addresses. Still some firewalls must be completely uninstalled if you want them not to affect your networking. You should also ping each computer by IP address, and if successful, ping by name. If neither you nor someone you know doesn’t know how this is done, write again and I’ll explain it to you.
