If Computer 1 has user names of: Mom and Dad, it won't recognize different
user names. If you logged on the Computer 2 as Daddy, that's a whole
different user name and Computer 1 won't see it as a valid name.
If this is the case, when you add the user names from Computer 1 to Computer
2, make sure you log-on as the new user names on Computer 2. Until the user
has logged on, (to Computer 2) Computer 1 won't recognize the name as a
valid user. ( The files need to be created for the user on the second
computer. This is done the first time a new user logs on.)
