You're welcome, Ellen. I'm glad that we were able to help you solve
the problem. Thanks for reporting the result. I've passed the word
on to Oli and Ron.
Given that there's nothing built into XP Home Edition to grant those
networking permissions (other than running the Network Setup Wizard),
I'd really like to know how those permissions get denied. Can you
think of anything that happened around the time that the problem
started?
