Both computers Windows XP SP2. Both connected to same router, both able to
internet and configure router.
C1 share (all rights) 1 map, 1 printer.
C2 share (all rights) 1 map.
C1 to C2: see and work in the map without problems.
C2 to C1: cannot make contact. No permission for the requested service.
Both computers same workgroup.
Ping works both ways.
Firewall on or off: No difference.
Anybody have any ideas?

Maarten,

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, but there are other possibilities too. What
antivirus do you use on each computer?

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:
