I'm sorry, this posting will be fine. I'm just trying to get an answer. I have asked this question on many forums and, for whatever reasons, I have not had any helpful answers. I do realize how networking 2 computers is usually accomplished. However, there seems to be some compatibility issues when it comes to networking a computer running XP Home edition (32 bit) with a computer running the new Vista Home Premium edition (32 bit). I just thought that there might be someone here that is in the know on this and be willing to share that knowledge. Perhaps the right person has just not read this yet. So, if I may, I'd like to keep this posting just in case that someone should happen by that can help. Thanks, Charles
