Sounds like you're right on the money with that description Chuck. So it
looks like I have to make myself part of some domain... which I'm not sure
exactly how to do. I see where Windows 64 Professional allows me to change
my network ID and add a domain, but Windows XP Home doesn't have the same
option. Its under Control Panel>System>Computer Name. The link you gave me
helped, but either its a little over my head or it doesn't tell me how to
change my computer from being a "guest" to being a "non-guest."
