Many thanks for the reply posted by (MVP) Steve Winograd.
Unfortunately, followed all instructions to the letter,=20
(Double-checked all protocols in place even though I knew=20
they were there), still no luck, RESULTS - "XP as Guest"=20
connected to 'Planlog'as before (ie still no contents in=20
explorer & wouldn't let me map from either guest or=20
host) - EXCEL FILE ATTACHED WITH SCREEN PRINTS.
No instructions for "XP as host" - tried it again=20
anyway, - XP sets up an "incoming Connections" connectoid=20
which doesn't seem to be the right thing - & there is no=20
facility to "Listen for Guest" - is this correct?
