XP to XP networking
I have two computers running XP professional, they are
connected to a SMC barricade via CAT5 cables and ethernet cards. I have run the networking wizard on both computers to ensure the correct settings for both. Both computers can only see themselves under the MSHOME network. I cannot get them to see the other computer or share printers. I would eventually like to connect a dsl modem the the SMC barricade for an internet connection. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for the help in advance, Mike |

XP to XP networking
No, I have not set up identical users as in most networks,
it has different users. Yes, I have set up identical access rights. I have run the network wizard, so they should be configured the same... not sure what else to do? Mike ps I have not had this problem with other networks with the same setup... what's up with that?? -----Original Message----- In article , says... |I have two computers running XP professional, they are |connected to a SMC barricade via CAT5 cables and ethernet |cards.

Thanks for the help in advance, Mike In Network Connections: Right click the icon for the LAN connection and choose Properties. Check that File and Printer sharing is installed and enabled. If using Simple File Sharing, users authenticate across the network on a Guest level. If using XP Pro, you can turn Simple File Sharing off. This would allow more flexibility in sharing and permissions. By duplicating user accounts/passwords on other machines, the user will be authenticated with their own credentials instead of on the guest level. This may not be practical for all users but it could be useful for at least some users on this network. The page that the following URL goes to contains an article by Steve Winograd and Ron Lowe. It focuses on simple file sharing but contains a link at the very beginning to an alternative article about how to set up an XP network without simple file sharing: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...ring/index.htm -- Sharon F MS MVP - Windows XP Shell/User |

XP to XP networking
Greetings --
On the WinXP PCs, create local user account(s), with non-blank password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be able to access the designated shares, provided your network is configured properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall is disabled on the internal LAN connection. Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless -- almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful, easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and he Home Networking http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...et/default.asp Networking Information http://www.onecomputerguy.com/networking.htm PracticallyNetworked Home http://www.practicallynetworked.com/index.htm Steve Winograd's Networking FAQ http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/faq.htm Bruce Chambers -- Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH "Mike R" wrote in message ...
