    Nightmare.

    I can access the PC1 from PC2 .
    I cant access PC 2 from PC1.

    What I attempted to do on both PC's was create a new power user. I tried
    the option for Office on both and I cant say it's made much difference.

    On both PC's the about 50% of programs were inaccessible while logged in
    as a power user.
    I spent a good hour or so reconfiguring my news and mail program
    (turnpike) so that it would work after logging back in as Admin on PC1.

    Neither computer would access each others share folders/printers because
    a user name and password were requested.

    I got PC1 working by going to Settings>CP>users and
    passwords>advanced>advanced user management>advanced >users right
    clicking the admin account and making sure user cannot change password
    and password never expires were checked.

    Doing the same on PC2 had no effect.

    The printer is attached to PC1 so now I cannot print from PC2.

    It is ridiculous.
