I had the same problem only I was using the 2000 to be the Host and the XP to be
the Guest. XP will recognoze W95,98, ME and another Xp but for some reason 2000
creates a problem and I could not find any documentation anywhere. This is now I
finally got it to work.
Start with the XP (host) Go the ControlPanel - Network Connections- Create a New
Connection- New Con Wizzard - next - check Accept Incoming Connections -next-Devices
for Incoming Connections - Direct Parallel (LPT1) -next - Incoming Virtual Connections
-check-Allow Virtual Private Connections- next Allow Users -check all of them - next
-Network Components (all of these must display in the box) Internet Protocol(TCP/IP),
File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks, Client for MS Networks, Deterministic Network
Scheduler -This was aready checked so I left it.
The Computer WORKGROUP Name "must be the same on both computers i.e. MY DESKTOP or
whatever name you choose. To check -Go to Control Panel -Systems - System Properties
Window- Networking Tab
When setting up the "Guest " compter (2000) you must enter the IP Address of the
Host computer. (Go To RUN type cmd - ok When the screen displays type - ipconfig
- ok the IP Adress will display.
2000 Computer - Start - Control Panel - Network Connections- New Con Wizzard - next
- NW Con type - check Connect To Computer at my workplace - Next - Create the Following
Connection - check Virtual Private Connection (VPN) -next - Connection Name - COmputer
Name (type a name i.e. Desktop) -next - Public network - Check "Auto Daial this connection"
Type in Desktop (The Host computer name) next - VPN Sever Connection - Enter Host
Computers IP Address i.e. 194.169.1.101 next- Finish
Rember that the file sharing on goes one way from Host to Guest so all the file on
the Host must be checked for Sharing.
TO see if the connection works go to Window Explorer on the Guest computer - My Network
Connections and see if Desktop or what ever you name it displays.
Once set-up you can also share a printer.
Good Luck
