NP, I wish I'd been more help. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out my home network. My wife thinks I enjoy tweaking it more than gaming. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Here's a workaround that may work for you. You did say you could ping the machines didn't you? Go to Start>Run>type '\\thenameorIPoftheothermahine\c$'. This is an administrative share that should give you access to the entire C drive of the other machine. You may have to log in. If so, just use an account and password that is valid on the machine you're connecting to. If it only offers the guest account, make sure the guest account is enabled on the machine you're connecting to.

You can also attempt to map a network drive by right clicking on My Computer and choosing that option.

Hmm... Medieval Total War does sound like more fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]

When you do figure it out make sure you post the solution, so I can add it to my growing list of networking notes.
