Home network problem
Home network with usually 5/6 pc's connected (it varies by what kids home
 , all XP except one Vista..All works fine except for two pc's running XP (one Home other Pro) that can see each other but will not connect to a shared folder; in either direction. Yet, 'Home' can print to 'Pro' shared printer. Both pc's however will connect to any and all the others so as a workaround have to copy thru a intermediary pc if want to transfer anything between these two specific pcs. All settings appear to be the same across all the pc's running XP. Google led me to "irpstacksize" setting but when I increased (I believe although entry didn't exist till I added it) that and rebooted my Avast would/could not start?

Not really much help, but don't add a Win 7 machine to the Mix !! You WILL go nuts.. I have a similar setup, all Win 7, bought Network Magic. Still haven't found what it changed that I didn't.. I suspect some obscure registry entry.

KenW I can see the advantages of having all computers be Win 7 -- very easy to set up Home Groups then. However I have no problems with my network setup, which usually consists of two XP and one Vista computers but will also include my Win 7 laptop when I turn that machine on and my daughter's Vista laptop when she visits us.
