Elementary: XP A <->B

Should be elementary, but I can't get it to work.

Two PCs, both running XP Prof.
Connected with "crossed" Ethernet cable.
Ethernet working correctly on both sides.
Using the doggie to do a "Suchen" on the one, and a "Rechercher" on the other (sorry, "Search" or "Find" I suppose in English, the two beasts talk different languages) will show the "other" computer (with "description", "computer name" and "network name"), so most of the connections seem to be in place.

But no way to get at the files on the "other" computer, either way.

I had this working years ago, on two much older computers, where I got the hard disk of the "other" computer to show up simply as a supplementary drive.

HELP?
