This is a classic example of my having started a new thread. My original
posting for this thread was basically one I used to start a previous thread.
The thread wasn't going anywhere. In fact the very first response ignored
many of the questions I had posed, and shifted the discussion. I failed to
catch it at the time and the thread took a very different direction. So I
decided to start a new thread and keep it in the relevant direction.
The subjects covered by threads seems to evolve over time. This is very
confusing and, I believe, counter productive. Is'nt it better to keep a
single thread on a sigle topic? And to start a new thread for a new topic.
My thinking is that each thread should be defined by the original question,
and that when a new issue is raised it is good for a new thread.
I think that starting a new thread for each new question will help rather
than impede

PS. Your multi-posting to all kinds of different groups and your constant
start of new threads is not helping in your search for an answer nor is it
helping the troubleshooting efforts by the would be helpers in this
matter! The way you have sought help with this problem is a classic
example on how *not* to ask for help on the newsgroups! You would be way
better served by cross-posting this to a few relevant news groups and by
*STICKING* to the thread and answering the questions asked by the helpers!
As it is now there is no single concerted effort to resolve the issues you
have simply because no one knows what has or hasn't been tried to resolve
the problem, and what has worked or not worked in the effort. I am sure
that some of the networking experts are seeing your posts all over the
place but due to the scattered approach that you have used to seek help
many are probably ignoring your posts!
There is no magic solution to the kind of problem that you are having.
Troubleshooting network problems can sometimes be complex and with all but
the simplest network problems you usually have to follow a series of steps
or troubleshooting measures to arrive to a successful resolution to the
problem. By keeping your request for help under one thread a reader may
spot a tiny but vital step that has been missed by another poster and add
a contribution to the discussion, quite often a final successful
resolution is obtained by a sort collaborative effort by many
contributors. When the thread gets longer and when the troubleshooting
gets more and more difficult is often the time when some of the experts
come in to the rescue or when one of the helpers rereads the thread and
spots a crucial step that is missing or gets the stroke of genius that
solves the problem.
I am not saying this to be critical, I am only trying to help. Your posts
are concise and you explain the problems in a clear manner but because of
the scattered postings and lack of focus from all readers you are
sabotaging the help effort. If my answer does not solve the problem try
one last time by cross-posting to a few select groups. Give all the
pertinent information about the problem and then stick to the thread!

Right clicking a folder on my system and selecting "Sharing and Security"
from the displayed menu yields a dialog box that has no "Share this
folder on the network" checkbox available. Is this OK?
On the same display is the statement "As a security measure, Windows has
disabled remote access to this computer. However, you can enable remote
access and safely share files by running the 'Network Setup Wizard'".
I've
run the 'Network Setup Wizard', and it fails to establish a network, as
evidenced by the fact that again selecting "Sharing and Security" yields
the same screen as described above, with no changes.
I'm running Win'XP Home on two machines. I have firewalls disabled on
both machines.
I'm successfully pinging each PC one from the other.
What do I do? How do I create a network? I am trying to set it up so
that I can share folders on one machine with another.
