Re: Communication Problems

Are the PC's in the Domain and not a workgroup?

This is odd..
The only time I've seen something like this is with WinME and XP not seeing
each other
but since you are all XP this shouldn't happen

Sorry I can't help you much more on this
I'm flying out this morning to Washington DC for a SBS Install
Yes Someone is flying me out to install SBS 2003
Should be a Easy install.
Unlike this last one 55 clients UGH! a nightmare..

Good luck..
And thanks I'd like to put the camera on top of my house, and point it to Mt
Hood but I can't figure out how to do it!
