XP Home LAN Problem

[Dave]

I just bought a new computer and it has XP Home on it. I have another
computer funning XP Pro. The Pro box is able to see and access the shared
folders on the Home machine. However, the Home machine is not able to see
the shared folders on the Pro machine. On the Home machine I have tried the
add a network place task but I can get to a certain level and then it asks
me for a password. I have admin privleges on both machines and the passwords
for either account ( Pro machine pwd. Home machine pwd.) do not work.

I tried changing the D Word to 1 on HKLM>System>Current Control
Set>Control>LSA on both machines and that did not work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

The guest account on your Pro might have a password, which is what would
then be expected from the home logon. The Pro could also have turned off
"simple file sharing'
