Hi, I have a problem which is driving me nuts. I have two PCs, one running Xp, the other running XP x64, connected together and to ADSL through a DLINK DSL-G604T router.

All networking and firewall permissions are set OK on each PC (I think), but the x64 PC will not let the other access it via Windows Explorer. I can ping each PC from the other, and the x64 PC can access the other's shared docs.

What's weird is that the iTunes Shared Music library on the x64 machine is accessible through iTunes on the other PC. Go figure!

Any clues what is happening here? It has me completely stumped.

Hi johnwill,

Yes to both - and now it has miraculously decided to work!

What I would like to do now is for the 32-bit user not to show as an option on the Login screen of the 64-bit machine. Is that possible?

No, I didn't describe it very well - and I have sorted it all out now, thanks.
