I have read the previous threads regarding connectivity and used most of the suggestions but still having an issue.

I have 2 pc's using Vista. Office-two has a direct attached printer (USB) that Office-one needs to use. From Office-two, I can see Office-one and open folders etc. From Office-one, I can't see Office-two.

I can not ping to Office-two from Office-One. I can ping the gateway address from both.

Both pc's can print to devices not direct attached (Two production printers) Both pc's can get on the internet.

What am I overlooking?

The easiest way to answer your question is to simply send you straight to Microsoft. Here's their guide for setting up file and printer sharing in Vista.
