Hi Steve: hope you will be reading this.
So far, we did manage to BOTH have the Local Network and Internet Sharing
working simulteanously on the two PCs.
There is no problem with Internet Connection. On the Network, we can see
each other's PC, but unable to log on each other's pc. On my system the error
is:
"Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer." I did a Google search on this message but it's too technical
for me.
(Your webpage was very straighforward though). Do you have some practical
explanation as to what is "keeping the door shut"?
I spent a lot of time inspecting each item in the Windows Services section,
but only a few are disabled.
Tks
Look forward to your reply.
