I have two computers one with XO Pro, and my wife's with XP Home. Both are
on the internet via an Ethernet broadband router and then a cable modem.
The internet connection works flawlessly.

However from the XP Home computer, I am able to "see" the XP Pro computer,
but cannot access it. I get the error message "you are not authorized see
the administrator etc". From the XP Pro computer I cannot "see" the XP Home
computer at all.

I have run the network wizard several times, I have looked in the knowledge
base and tried what suggestions I found there. Yes the hard drives are
"shared". Both computer have SP-2. However this problem was present before
SP-2 was installed.

Any ideas would really be appreciated.

Thanks much
