XP Home edition and XP Professional resource sharing

[Ben]

I have just added a xp professional pc to my small
network, got the 98 pc to use it's printer, but can't
seem to get the xp home edition pc's to use the shared
printer on the xp professional machine. I have turned of
simple security since I couldn't get it to work that
way... now I get 'guest' login screen, but not past it.
Any ideas?

Did you run the Network Setup Wizard on both machines? You'll need to do
that so the network stuff gets setup properly.
