That may be your problem (Home is a bit crippled when it comes to
networking, you just don't get these problems with Pro) it's the good ol'
marketing machine at M$ at work again. They only want you to use Home as a
standalone OS and use Pro if you want to network them together. One pain
with home is that you don't get the option to save a user name and password
when you log into a remote share, you do with pro and from then on it
doesn't ask you again, with home you have to put the password back in every
time you visit that share in a different session of Explorer.
I would ensure that both machines have shares set up even if on one of them
you really don't need it, this will ensure the modern day equivalent of
"File and Printer Sharing" is enabled in your TCP/IP stuff. Try again after
that and se if it will connect.
Did you check they are both in the same workgroup by the way??

Thanks "Siv", for your reply to my question.
Both computers are XP Home! Also, I dont see "Simple File sharing option"
checkbox
in Windows Explorer under Tools/folder option/View.

Is one machine running XP Pro and the other XP Home? I have ssen this
when Home is involved.
One thing to check is, on the computer that can't be accessed by th
eother one, in Windows Explorer go to Tools/folder options and select the
"View" tab, check that the "Simple File sharing option" is set and if not
set it to that and try connecting from the remote computer. If not switch
it to unticked and then set permissions to either allow a specific user
to access the folder or just set "Everyone Full Control" assuming you are
behind a firewall and you trust the other computer implicitly.
The other thing to check is that both computers are in the same workgroup
XP home by default puts the newly installed PC into the MSHOME workgroup
whereas Pro puts it into "WORKGROUP" workgroup. They should both be the
same.

I`m networking 2 XP computers but only on one of the computers (#1) can
I see *and* access files of the other computer (#2).
On computer #2 I can *see* shared files and printer of computer #1, but
can *NOT* access shared files (Printer is available!).
I get an error message saying:
(shared folder) "is not accessable. You might not have permission to use
this Network Resource. Contact administrator of the server to see if you
have permission".
And then below this message:
"Not enough server storage is available to process this command".
Anyone know what this message is trying to tell me? I have recently
built a new computer and now I am trying to Network it.
Any insight into this matter would be greatfully appreciated.
Matt
