at the time i wrote the original message
back in 2002 i didn't know XP had a 
Firewall (learned that at a later date)...
but i don't think that was the problem, 
my guess is that its because XP doesn't 
support NetBEUI.

There's a chance that my brother may
bring his XP computer back over in Nov.
if he does i may try again using the
NetBEUI add-on MicroSoft provides for 
XP.. 
my network is still the same as before.
