Hello everyone. I have a bit of a problem, I recently received a computer
from a friend of mine running XP Pro, I want to network it to my current
computer that runs XP Home. The XP Home computer is the better one as far
as processor speed and Ram and what not.

What I want to do is ...

Do you have static ip adresses on the Home and Pro machines or router
assigned? It is possible that the ip addressing is not correct between the
machines or the Pro machine and router. Worth a look.

Also if you are using a software firewall either turn them off/ uninstall
or make sure the IP Range is trusted.
SP2 Firewall got to exceptions and make sure file and print sharing is
checked among anything else you see listed and need.
Check the Folder Options in Control Panel. In Pro and see if simple

Thanks for the help, although i am still having problems....I am not using
a router, i simply have the two computers directly connected through their
ethernet ports. Simple File sharing is enabled, and I have turned off both
firewalls. The main problem that i think this is about is that my main

internet connections (it will ...

together.

If you have a Router, why do you need to share anything as far as the
Internet goes.
Can't you send each machine directly to the Router ?
I have 3 machines plugged into a Router with everything set to Auto no one
unit depends on the other for anything. And I can ...

I go through a wireless router. Doesn't make sense to me if you have a
router not to use it. ICS is the pits to use compared to the router. If you
are worried about someone getting to your files don't share the folders and
use WPA,WEP, and Mac filtering. If you just want to share the internet
don't use the wizard. Just point the machines to the router IP. I use DHCP.
The machines do the rest. You...

once again thanks for the help everyone, just to address a few points.. I
cannot use the router because it is a wireless router, i have purchased a
wireless usb adapter to connect the xp home computer to the internet, but
instead of purchasing another wireless usb adapter for the xp pro machine i
thought it may be cheaper (though perhaps not eaiser)to simply share the
connection. Maggie could you...

There is not a wired connection on the airport? I'm not familiar with them.
Maybe point me to a webpage for your model. You will need an ethernet card
or the wireless USB.
