Hello Folks,
I just set up a home network with my home PC which is running Windows XP Pro. I also have a work PC that I would like to share files and my printer. My work PC runs Win 2000 and it is part of a domain. My home network is a workgroup called Patnet.
Ping Tests
Home to 127.0.0.1 (Yes)
Home to self (No)
Home to work (Yes)
Work to 127.0.0.1 (Yes)
Work to self (Yes)
Work to Home (No)
When I go to "my network places" on my home PC and click on "View workgroup computers", I get an error saying that I do not have the right privledges to access my home network "Patnet". I am logged on as an admin.
Questions
Is the NIC on my home PC defective? The card is new and I use the card to access my DSL connection?
If I create a home network profile for my work PC, will it change the setting that allow me to use network resources on my work domain?
Thanks, Bill
