Now I thought I do the simplest of LAN by plugging one PC into the other with
the required cross cable.
Manny bizzare things later and many good articles and assistance seen in
this area (Thanks to the MVS's and their assistance)
But here is where we stand. THe XP Pro machine can see all the files shares
set up onthe XP Home machine, but it does not see itself on the network.
The Home PC sees sometimes itself on the network and its shares but not the
XP Pro machine. Searches and then nothing.
Ping 192.168.0.10 (XP home machine) works
Ping 192.168.0.20 (XP Pro machine) works
Ping computer01 (XP PRO) works
Ping compaq (XP Home) works
from both sides/PC
User guest enabled on both machine same password. used net user guest etc.
But can't get \\computer name\ shared files or \\IP address\shared files to
work?
NETBIOS over TCP/IP enabled on both machines. Only have basic services as
are normally recomended by Chuck.
SFS enabled on XP Pro machine
One issues is that the XP Home PC is a french windows and XP Pro is english
version windows. To overcome this? created a Guest account rather than
Invité (French equivalent) to ensure both have exactely the same name /
password.
Do not fully follow how windows uses this guest in its access betweent the
PC though and what the impact is when normal logon is to an other user ID?
There we are, long story but its driving me crazy! Plug and pray after that
it's pure hell!
I throw it open to the experts!!!
Cheers
Speedy
