Re: Networking Home to Pro |

XP Home is a bit of a basket case as far as networking is concerned.
Can you see the share using net view \\machinename from a command prompt
on Home? If you can, can you do a
net use z: \\machinename\filename?
What actually happens if you try to put the XPHome machine in the
workgroup?

can see the workgroup from the Home machine but when I try to join it
says I don't have permission. I don't believe the Pro machine is set
up on a domain as I understand this would prohibit the Home from
joining. When I try to manually map a drive using the same address
that is working on the second Pro machine it says it doesn't exist.
Any help would be appreciated,
