Aurora,
ok my friend managed to get it working on his pc, but not on mine.
however i did manage to find a way around it, although not ideal and i won't be using it myself.
firstly, instead of double-clicking the other computer's icon from your pc, go to an address bar in one of your folders and type:
\\JIM\My Music\
Where JIM* is the computer name and My Music* is a shared folder. I can now view PC 2's documents and alter them if neccessary.
I really hate Windows XP sometimes, and this is it's biggest flaw. It's meant to be stable and secure, and it's meant to be easier than any other OS in setting up a LAN, but yet it can't do it.
My Aunt's BF is a network engineer and even he said he was at a loss for words. He said "It should definately be working. All the settings are fine".
I'm just hoping the next copy of WinBlows will have this feature improved upon.
Hope this helps, Samurai
