I would first logon to one of those machines locally to see if you can do those
tasks. If you can then it is a network access problem and the things I would check
are on XP computer are. -- The ICF firewall needs to be disabled or any ipsec
policies blocking ports for file and print sharing. File and print sharing needs to
be installed/bound and the server service running. Remote registry service needs to
be running. You need the user right to access this computer from the network on those
computers. If none of that pans out try temporarily disabling the four security
options for "digitally sign communications" if you are accessing from a W2K
chine. --- Steve
