Hi all.


Is it possible to connect 2 machines with Windows XP Home Edition?
I've already tryed with a same Workgroup, but couldn't connect them.
What should I do to connect these 2 machines, if possible?


Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Joaquim.

Joaquim,

All computers running Windows, any version or edition, can be networked.  See if
my networking tutorial is any help.

If you've done all of that, and no dice, go thru my Windows Networking tutorial.

And having checked Windows Networking, make sure that File Sharing is setup
properly.
