The Wolfmare

but maybe I am just looking at the answer and can't see the forest for
the trees.

I have two computers one I call "Master" which is windows xp home
edition (It has a Larger HD and more Memory), and then the other I call
"Slave" which is XP Professional(Smaller HD, Less Memory). Both are
connected by a linksys router.

I can trade files very easily, I have established a Internet connection
with no problems.

Now here is where the Dumb Newbie question comes in:

Both say my name, Both Say I have Admin Rights But when I try to use
Remote shutdown or anything else it tells me I do not have Admin Rights
or that the other computer doesn't recognize me as having Admin Rights.
Someone please tell the ignorant nube how to establish Admin rights over
a network.
 
Hello,

Since the two computers are in a workgroup, you have to use the
administrator account in the target computer to shutdown it remotely or
perform other operation. As you said "Remote shutdown or anything else it
tells me I do not have Admin Rights " I'd like to know : How you remote
shutdown the computer? Please described in detail.

Thanks.
