Hello,
I have just set up a small wired home network using an SMC
router/modem. So far, there are just two machines, this one running Xp
Home & my wife's running XP Pro. We both have Internet access no problem
and she can share my files and use my printer. However, I cannot see her
shared folders in Network Places but do see my own shared folders.

I see her computer in Workgroup but when I click on it says her computer
is not accessible and that I may not have permission whereas her machine
can access folders on this one. I can ping her machine and the response
is fast. (This is with guest account active and both machines in Admin.)

I used the XP wizard to set up the network.

Any clues greatly appreciated by this network novice.


Charlie.
