XP Home and Sharing

[VJF]

Hello,


I have 2 machines. 1 is XP home and the other is XP pro. The xp home
machine has 2 printers attached to it and its download folder
(c:\download) shared.

When I goto the XP pro machine and try to attach to the shared printer
on the home machine it can see the printer but cannot connect. When I
try to attach to the download folder on the home machine it shows the
pro computer but wont let me access it.

I tried making the logged on username and passwords the same on each
computer, enabled every services that I could think if that had anything
to do with the networking and neither of them helped.

I am aware that XP home is network crippled but it does have the ability
to share printers and folders and also connect to the network.

The XP home machine has a static ip where as the xp pro machine has a
dhcp ip.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks in advance,

VJF
