I am trying to add a Dell C640 computer using XP Pro to my home network. I
went through the steps to add it, but I can't get the network to recognize
the new laptop. I have added another computer that is running Vista without
any problem, but can't get this one added. Any suggestions?
 
Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
