I was able to change it. Both machine should have the same login name and password now-- no confusions between trying to remember lon and lon1. I would still prefer to not have to go through that.
Next thing I need to do is clean out the rubbish and standardize the
sharing between the 2 machines.
My Network Places is a mess. It shoudl be cleaned out and sharing
established.
All this rubbish got in there from right clicking and naming things and not really doing it in a 'system map' manner. The network tree doesn't show things in the right place or doesn't show them at all, yet one personal shared folder is still accessible to transfer files one way.
I remember setting up 3 machines under Win2k and did it all at once.
Those routines are no longer fresh and I have to do it a step at a time.
Unfortunately no single book or printed routine seems to work well.
They talk about these things but not how to troubleshoot.
Thanks for your patience.
