Steve thank you for your advice I have downloaded the web
pages that you have kindly siggested and will take an hour
or tow digesting them and hopefuly I might find the
answewr. As to set up I purchased a startup kit comprising
two ethernet cards and wire.

I used the XP wizard to get as far as getting both
computers showing now on both screens. At one time I used
a program called Easytwoshare that worked for a time until
I had a major crash on one of the copmputers after that I
just couldn't get access/and or permissions.
