Peer-to-peer conn. problem
Posted by Peter Chatterton on February 4th, 2008


I have an XP pro SP2 which I'm trying to connect to a tablet PC,
peer-to-peer, with anEthernet cross-over using a realtek NIC on the XP.

They both have a workgroup named MSHOME.

On the tablet, under Explorer>MS Windows Network, there are entries for both PCs.

On the XP, network setup wizard runs okay
but selecting MSHOME under Explorer>MS Windows Network, gives:
"Mshome is not accessible -- maybe need permission."
"List of servers for this workgroup is not avail."

Hope you can help,
Peter
