[RESOLVED] Lost connection between computers in the same network

[krtxmrtz]

another idea ive had this actually cause a problem with me
on the computer you cant see go to control panel->administrative tools-> Local Security Policy->Local Polices->User right Assignment->then in the "Access this computer from the network make sure either the user account is in there or just put "everyone"

There's no "Local Security Policy" tool among "administrative tools". Is it really supposed to be there in WinXP Home edition?

i would say it's probably not called that since home edition doesnt support domains.

Now it turns out the 'my network places' icon on the desktop does nothing when I double-click on it -on the computer that does not see the other- and the hourglass mouse pointer stays there (until crtl/alt/del).
