I have been trying off an on to set up a home network between my HP XP Notebook and my HP Me Pavilion Desktop for roughly six months now. I have purchased a 10/100 Ethernet Hub with Four ports, one is optionally used for "uplink." Sharing my internet connection via a cable modem has worked perfectly, but I would also like file and print sharing, as I only own one printer. Is this network possible? I have two usernames on each computer, with exactly the same name and password as the other computer's. When I try to add a network place under "my network places," it only allows me to add folders stored on the machine i am using at the time. Please help.

>Michael, If your desktop is ME than make sure that you enabled file and print sharing. This is a scary thing so make sure that you read up on it before you enable it in network places. After enableing it you will have to install it on your xp. Now I have a question for you how did you get your internet sharing with ME I have pro on my laptop and I can't figure it out for the life of me
