I hope he can help, because I've never been able to get networking setup right myself, so I will be monitoring this thread closely.

Although I'm no big fan of the whole Home Group thing and much prefer to do things myself with simple Work Group configuration with out all the wizards you might want to try......

True patcooke, but given the context it was used in, it was meant as humor....and I don't think the OP meant any disrespect by using it that way.
