Are you getting an error message? All firewalls are off and / or all pc's ip addresses are in trusted zones depending upon your firewall's config?
Can you ping each from the other? I use simple file sharing on a mixed wired / wireless network with XP Pro, Vista, and XP Home.

I have 3 computers and a printer and the Internet all work fine. My continuing problem is that 2 of the computers have Windows XP home, and one has XP pro. The 2 home cannot download from the xp pro or upload to it. The pro can download to the home. All shareable files and directories are visible on all machines. I have turned off simple file sharing on the pro, that didn't help. I tried turning off the firewall that didn't help. I have tried reading as many KB's as possible, but still haven't found anything to address the problem. Most material addresses problem with the network of which there is no problem. Can anyone suggest someplace to look to find the solution. or has anyone come across the problem. I want to be able to store files on the XP pro and be able to use them on the home. This is a wireless network, but it works fine. The only way I can get files from the pro to either home computer is to download them from pro to home. -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
