Question : Can't connect to shared printer and folders in workgroup.

In a work group style network  two PC's are running XP Pro SP2. Both pc's have directly connected printers that are shared with anyone in the work group. PC "A" can see PC "B" and has no problem connecting to PC "B"'s printer and shared folders. PC "B" cannot connect or see any of the shared resources on "A". when trying to use the add printer wizard in PC "B" the shared printer on A cannot  be located. When the path is types in the following error occurs  " Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost connection to the server." Im assuming some ports are closed in PC "A" don't know how to verify. A norton Internet security w/ IDS was previously installed
