Thanks for the reply Jason.
Neither computer has passwords set up. I have a similar setup in my home
that works this way. Both machines are logged in with Administrator
priveleges. User names are different in my home and that also works. Keep in
mind this is XP Home edition.
Thanks for the caution on sharing the C drive.
The only difference in setup between my home's system and that of the new
system that I am trying to configure is that I didn't use the Netowrk Setup
Floppy in the new one. I'm thinking that there is a place to set permissions
that I am missing...?
