    Windows XP Networking (Home and Professional Edition)
    « on: September 27, 2007, 10:02:05 AM »
    Hello everybody, I have a network with 4 workstations connected to a switch, 3 of those machines have Windows XP professional Edition and 1 have Windows XP Home Edition. The point  is that all the machines couldn't access to the Home edition machine and the home edition to others too.

    How could I do to share the files in the Home edition machine and how could I configure this machine to be as gateway to the others.

    please help me!!!

        Also, make sure that the computer workgroup name is the same on all 4 PCs.
        To confirm, click on windows key + Pause/Break keys together.
        This will open System Properties.
        Click on Computer Name tab.
        Click on Change button. You will see workgroup name. Correct if needed.
        Good luck and hope this helps. Post back result.

          Hi, I've ben make it, but still happens the last posted issue.

          I think I should install WXP Professional Edition on this computer and solve the trouble.
