Two computers, both running Windows XP Pro w/ Firewall on.

Comp1 and Comp2 seem to be set up the same. All "Local Security Settings"
are the same. Firewalss are on on both, and setting are the same.

Comp1 can see Comp2, but not vice versa

 From Comp2, net view \\Comp1 returns the error message above.

When I click on Comp1 in "My Network Places" I get a logon box "Connectiong
to Comp1" with only the Comp2\Guest account available and a password. I
type in the password for the guest account on Comp1 and it acts like I tpyed
inthe wrong password.

Although the printer is shared on Comp1, when I try to addi it on Comp2, I
get as far as browing for the printer on Comp1, but no printer is shown, so
there is nothing to add.

Does anyone know where I can start to solve this problem.

Many thanks
Mike Thomas
