[access-uk] Re: Home network problem

Hi,

All machines must be in the same workgroup.  That MSHome is just a
wizard default, you can enter in anything you like in there.  I normally
enter in workgroup into that box as its what older operating systems
default to.  File sharing is not switched on in XP by default,
especially if SP2 is installed.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] Home network problem

Hello everyone,

We are having trouble setting up a home network with three computers,
two running windows ME and one running windows XP Pro.  We have set up
the two windows ME machines but we cannot access the computer running
windows XP Pro from either machine.  We have run the home networking and
add network place wizards on each machine and set up a public folder
with full access.  Is this an operating system issue?  the name we are
using for the network is WORKGROUP but the XP Pro machine defaults to
MSHOME and is not recognised.  Is there a way this can be turned off so
we can access it from the other two computers?  Any help would be most
appreciated.

best wishes,

Clive Pallett
