Networking XP Pro Laptop with XP Home PC
LockedI have been beating my head on this all day. My home desktop has Windows XP Home, as I had no need for Pro at home. Now, I want to share files between my home desktop and my laptop — which has XP Professional.
I can access the laptop from the desktop and view/get files.
I can ping the desktop from the laptop by IP.
I CANNOT ping the desktop from the laptop by name.Also, when I search for computers on the network by IP, my laptop does not see the home desktop.
Basically, I seem to be having a problem with name resolution from the laptop (PRO) to the desktop(HOME).
Any thoughts?
Best!
Scott
