Re: XP Home cannot see XP Pro



Chuck,

I enabled file sharing and added password protection to my user accounts
when I login. Same problem still. The Windows XP Home systems can see
themselves but not the Windows XP Pro machine. The Windows XP Pro system can
see the Windows XP Home systems, but not itself. This is driving me %$#@
nuts. Is there a checkbox somewhere in the Networking settings to "Show
System" on the network? Should I run the dreaded Networking Wizard? I'm
ready to call Dell Technical support and get someone on Bangladesh who
probably can't help me but I can vent to. Please any ideas or direction
would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks again.

Roger
