When I'm sitting at my XP Pro machine, I can easily copy files to our
networked XP Home machine. But from the XP Home machine, I can't
"pull" files onto the desktop from the XP Pro machine. I can see them,
and in a few cases I can copy them. But mostly I can't. I've tried
turning off Simple File Sharing (without rebooting the Pro machine).
The files in question are in folders that are set for full sharing.
Anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks.
 
I did some testing and discover that this is only a problem when
trying to pull files from the Desktop of the XP Pro machine. Files in
other directories of the XP Pro machine come right across, no problem.
I'd love to know what I am doing wrong here. Thanks!
