Ok. Just saying it doesn't mean I know what it means, but I think I can use the help files and my book to look it up again.

The issues are mostly on the XP machine. I had made a workgroup and at setup of the OS I specified a workgroup called HOMENET. If I go

desktop > My Network Places > View Workgroup Computers

I see one stock shared folder and the one I made. BUT that shared folder only shows that it is in the default called 'workgroup' and not Homenet.

I will come back with any how-to questions on doing the simple sharing routine.

Thanks for taking this one step at a time.
