Hi, how do you get around the restriction when you have two pc (both xp home sp2) networked together, sharing, but there's a remote restriction on both side. I was able to remote pc #2(xp pro) BEFORE, using #1 (xp home) as main, both pc are now sharing files, but i can't to remote either one. Ping both pc is successful, and even PCanywhere is unable to connect on both end. and yes firewall are disabled.
Any ideas? thanks in advance.

just another thing i keep losing my connection (to a point where i keep creating) everytime i reboot one pc, what's causing this conflict. both pc is clean with anti spyware, is there any other program thats causing this to not stay connected?

kelly , ( one sidepoint : though you said I can ping ,later you said I lose connection..you must be pinging %100 of the time ).
Possible solutions:
1.In your net. neigh. properties chech that file and printer sharing is checked .
2.In tcp/ip properties check that when file & printer sharing is selected the box supposed to be informing you when the link is disabled or filtered is checked .
3. Inside the advanced properties of the ip check the last tab of the advanced button : In options check the box to allow Netbios over tcp/ip4.
4. If all fail recreate a small home network from scracth on both pc s . and for two pcs use share level configuration do not check any domain name or domain log on boxes .

hye hoz, thanks for the respond, although i've tried to recreate a network (which was successful, yet when, rebooting pc, the both pc doesn't not reconnect to each other.(?) i also uncheck the filtering, although not really clear on the tci/ip (4). although it can network with each other (without, rebooting/switching user) i want to atleast have both pc reconnect to their network, what is a ypical network setup steps for 2 computer.
