I have two computers at home using the same wireless router. I named
one of them HerLapTop.

I tried to see HerLapTop in my computer. In address bar of My
Computer, I typed in \HerLapTop and my computer could not "see" her
returning error.

However, if I typed in the ip address like 3.123.0.1 I was able to
see the shared folders and printers.

How do I make it so I can see HerLopTop instead of using the ip
address.

Both are in XP, one professional media, and the other Home.
The one I want to see is prof.
