Re: Networking Win2000Pro to XP-Home w/Router

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your update.

If you create and share a folder in c:\, such as C:\ABC, could you access
it successfully via network? If not, you may need to run the Network Setup
Wizard. For more information, please see:

You receive an error message when you try to access a shared folder on a
network computer that is running Windows XP Home Edition
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885184

For more information, please see:

How to troubleshoot home networking in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308007

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,
Tom Che
