Steve,
this is to let you know that finally I was able to set up a working network
using your suggestions. Apparently, there was some error in the names of
computers. I changed names and everything worked as you promised!
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Steve,
it seems that I'm deeper in the woods than ever... Yesterday, I told you
that I was able to reach the C:\ drive on both computers. But this was
yesterday. Today, it's a different story.
I'm unable to reach another computer from both machines. No matter what I
do, I go nowhere. Typing \\OLD causes an error "The network path was not
found". Using "my way" - typing \\OLD and then browse to My Network Places
and drilling to MSHOME, causes the error "Access denied..."
For some reason, something went wrong...
What would you suggest: to clean this mess somehow and start from the
scratch, or disregard this and start a new network, or forgetaboutit and
use two separate comps...
Your advice is appreciated.
Ilya
P.S. I have Win XP Home Edition. Typed \\OLD in the Run as you directed...
Could not get through... Will try again...
To access the computer named OLD directly, without using My Network
Places, type the line in the Start > Run box exactly as I showed it,
including the two backslash characters:
\\OLD
By design, Windows XP blocks networked access to these folders:
1. Program Files.
2. Windows.
3. Individual users' folders (such as Owner) within Documents and
Settings.
If you have Windows XP Home Edition, the best solution is to put
documents that you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. To
create the Shared Documents folder, run the Network Setup Wizard.
If you have Windows XP Professional, you can disable simple file
sharing, which removes those sharing restrictions:
1. Open My Computer and click Tools | Folder Options | View.
2. Scroll to the end of the advanced settings.
3. Un-check "Use simple file sharing (recommended)".
