Can't connect XP-Pro CPU to home network

[Derek Upson]

Chuck, thank you so much for the info. I was not aware of these settings.
The first problem was that I did not have the guest account enabled.

I did check to see if simple sharing was enabled and it was. I then went
into system policies and i noticed the following:

under DENY....it only showed one entry which was "SUPPORT_288945a". i have
no idea what this means.

under ACCESS...it shows Everyone along with a bunch of other names
(administrators, users, power users, etc).

After doing all of this....the same thing happens. i even reset my XP
computer after making these changes.

any other ideas?

Derek,

I think we have an open thread with this in discussion.
