Thanks for your help. I tried both methods of logging in
and tried several different domain user IDs with no
success. It just doesn't want to let the XP Home users in!
The Pro users have no trouble at all. I tried every
combination of domain name, including the dotted decimal
IP address - still n.g. I'm sure that there is something
that I'm just missing here - but of course, I'm REALLY
missing it :-). Thanks again - Aidan
