[QUOTE="hank1, post: 122412"] Believe it or not, I don't know what "server" and "share" mean in Add Network Place on Windows XP. Here are the examples: and For the first one I put in the server: 192.168.1.xxx (the IP address of my eMac), and for share: the workgroup name (MSHOME). In the second one I put it this way: [url]http://192.168.1.xxx/Bob[/url] (Bob is the name of my eMac). Or I just put it this way:\\192.168.1.xxx\Bob In all cases I get: I have Windows Firewall disabled. File and print sharing enabled. In My Documents under "Network sharing and security" I have "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow network users to change my files" checked. And Windows Sharing and Personal File Sharing enabled on the eMac. [U]Is[/U] the server my eMac's IP address? And is "share" my workgroup name? For months I was able to "see" the eMac from the PC, and visa versa. Did a clean install of Windows XP, and can't seem to get the network back. Please someone who is not an ignorant user, please set me strait. Thanks, P.S. I had backed up my connection before the clean install. I still have the icon for accessing the eMac. But now it says [/QUOTE]
