I have a PC with XPPRO and a laptop with WIN2K. I want to connect the two
so that I can transfer files between them.

I have a USB cable connected to both the computers. Now the problem(s) I
get is/are manifold....

Can not log into the XPPRO system without using the actual administrator
account, for all others it says no right/permissions held.

Can not transfer most files between the two systems with system giving
message that I do not have rights/permissions etc...

Difficult to connect between the two, XPPRO does not automatically pick-up
the other computer, I have to type in the name of the computer to have it
show the same in the 'network connections'. (I have not used the Network
wizard to make a small network though).

Would appreciate if anyone has any quick answers to my
questions/observations and I would appreciate directions to web material
that can teach me how to set-up and use this system between two
computers...something is simple english, for a layman!

Thanks in advance.
