    TO: CHUCK
    I have tried all. At the beginning, Windows firewall enabled, and file and
    printer sharing exception enabled.

    For this test: all is XP PRO sp2 by default.
    Firewall is off for testing purposes.
    Simple File Sharing is enabled (default).

    I didn't touch Guest account defaults. Shoul be enabled a ? Why ? It is
    NOT enabled by default? Anyway I do cmd "net user guest /active:yes" on
    BOTH computer . Please Chuck I would appreciate a small explanation what is
    exactly the effect of this action? MAYBE IS JUST THERE THE BOG

    I didn't touch passwords. I let it by default Blank (emply).( I don't use
    guest authentication for this test purpose.

    I think TRAFFIC ONE WAY (forbidden incomming traffic on server is really TOO
    MUCH security ) Default parameters should be both ways , anyway well
    protected.

    NO CHANGES with your post Chuck Thanks anyway.
