Thank you for the info,
Excuse my ignorance but how do you disable XP's firewall?
I've checked in the network connection properties and it
is not enabled. Then I have Norton Internet Security, but
I have configured the firewall to accept the IP coming
from the other computer.
Again in the network connection properties I can see that
they both use TCP/IP.
Finally, the error msg also says that I have to contact
the administrator to chack if I have the access
authorisations.
Do you still have any ideas?
Thanks a lot
