Help!!!! You're not providing a lot of detail here. The problem description "not the other way round" doesn't provide a lot of clues. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...useful-in.html Is Password Protected Sharing enabled or disabled?

I had that problem, and after fiddling, it even switched around. The result
was that the networks were not named EXACTLY the same on each computer, and merge/delete networks not needed. Both computers have the correct network names, and I can now see/transfer from each.
