Hi

I just set up a home network with a host running XP Home
(with an internet connection) and a client in another
room running XP Pro.

I can ping backwards and forwards but I can't see shares
from either computer.

On the host, the other computer is visible but not
accessible.

The error on the server is "The Specified Network Name is
No Longer Available"

If I use command and net view \\client i get error 53 but
i don't know what this means...

All guest accounts are activated, and simple file sharing
is set up on both sides.

Its driving me nuts!
