Might be a permissions issue. Make sure BOTH systems are sharing a drive or folder. Then, verify the network is working by pinging both ways.

Then try setting up a user on the XP Pro system with the same name and password as the XP Home system. This sometimes helps.

The other thing to try would be ensuring both systems are in the same workgroup and that simple file sharing is disable (or enabled) for both.

Helmig helps with some advice here.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Mick
