Setting up temporary home network

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi,

I purchased a new computer - OS is Win XP Media Center. That's my primary.
Older computer has Win XP. That's my secondary. I just need to copy files
from secondary to primary. I was told I could do this with a crossover
cable. Secondary is all set. On primary, however, I get the message:
MShome (network name) is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact Admin of this server to find out if you
have access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available.

I do not log in to the primary. Why would I need persmission? What I
thought would be simple -- seems not to be. Can someone assist me.

Thanks,

Angela
