Hi, one and all. I have two computers with my primary
one running Windows XP home edition and SP1, the other is
running just Windows XP home without SP1 installed, it
seems to run better this way. I have tried every thing
that I can think of to try and get my machines to see
each other over the built in ethernet capabilities
provided on both. I have gone through the whole net bios
thing and the shared folder routine and I am still
stumped as to why I can't get one to see the other's
drive. If any body could help this guy out, it would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark.
