>>Hi All,
>>
>>For some time now I have been happily bringing home my work laptop (domain
>>environment) and
>>plugging it into my home network (workgroup environment).
>>
>>Having re - installed WinXP Pro at home last week, I now find I cannot get
>>my Win2000 laptop to
>>talk to my network.
>>
>>>From the laptop, I can browse the XP Pro desktops but not connect to them,
>>this is OK.
>>
>>>From the desktops, I can browse the Win2000 laptop and when I attempt to
>>connect to it, a dialogue
>>pops up requesting user name and password.
>>
>>Previously I would have entered the details of a user on the laptop and be
>>connected to the shares...
>>
>>The attempt to log on is rejected, not by an error message, simply by the
>>dialogue staying up on the screen
>>with the password highlighted.
>>Additionally, in the name field it changes my user name input from 'Neil'
>to
>>'desktoppc\Neil'.
>>If I try to change the entry in the name field to 'laptoppc\Neil' it
>rejects
>>the password which I know to be correct.
>>
>>Note, I am only interested in connecting from the desktop XP Pro to the
>2000
>>laptop, not vice versa.
>>
>>My router assigns the laptop an IP, I can ping it but no sharing....
>>
>>Is it likely that a newly installed WinXP Pro setup with all current
>>Critical Updates is by default unfriendly to
>>a Win2000 connection ?
>>
>>What can I check to help sort this problem out ?
>>
>>Many thanks,
>>
