Both systems have two identically names users - both with admin privileges.

I'm logged into the pro system with my account and logged into the home
system with our daughter's account.

I ran the network setup wizard on the pro system and then on the home
system - naming the new network "HOME"

The problems mentioned in the OP remain?

Like I said - folder sharing works if I do the Add Network places routine.
Printers are shared by using the Add printer routine.

The Entire Network | Microsoft Windows Network | HOME is not automatically
detected when I click on it????
I should be - and was until just a few days ago. Something, on one of the
computers is preventing this.
