Thanks for the input. Carol sent me a good link that helped, and I got it running, though not quite sure which took care of it. Every time I tried something, I got a little bit more accomplish like one PC would read the other, but not vice-versa. I think the clicker was shutting down the fire wall on the one PC. Now one more question, it appears XP has firewall protection already installed. Does this mean it is not necessary to use Zone Alarm or Sygate PRO on the XP home machine? Thanks to all of you for the wonderful support you provide. Jeff
