Hi,

I have 2 computers connected directly together at home on a network.

The problem is that i can only access the computers throught their ip addresses. i.e. \\192.168.0.1\ and not \\home1

Also i cannot see the other computer on another computers My Network Places.

I have tried everything... Windows services, protocols, etc...

Please help.
