    Hi

    I'm trying to Network two PCs together - one has Wondows XP Home - the other has Windows XP Professional. The XP Professional can see the XP Home version - but not the other way around!

    Any ideas what to do?

    Disable the firewall temporarily on both PC's and see if that helps.

    AFAIK there is a wizard on Win XP to network two PC's together.

    Make sure they are on the same Workgroup, and The PC's have different names.

    I presume they are plugged into the same router, and are on the same IP range and subnet.
