Can you see the password as *********** ?
If you can I have a small little program that will reveal the password for

you

It sounds like you aren't logging on with the password you assigned the
box at the beginning.  That happened to me with a machine at work.  No
one knew the password so I used an off-the-shelf program from PCWorld to
 retrieve it.  It was on a Windows 98 machine, though.  I understand XP
has much harder security.

George,

Thanks for the links I'm sure they'll be helpful.

My networking snag is very simple I'm sure.  Its likely I'm just

missing

something simple.  I have two XP Pro machines plugged into a syslink

router.

Both access the net without problem.  The firewall on both machines

(ZA) are

configured to "trust" the IP from the other machine.

Computer #1 can see itself and machine #2 in the workgroup, NP.  The

problem

seems to be with machine #2.  Computer #2 cannot see either itself or
Computer #1 in the workgroup.  As a result Although Computer #1 can see

it,

I can't access it.

I'm thinking I've simply missed a simple click or two somewhere.  It

all

seems straight forward.  So either its too simple for me to grasp or

I'm too

simple to understand it, LOL

I'll keep playing with it.

Networking is FUN! Actually that is how I learned. I started small

and

now have 15 here at home all running and all talking to each other.
Varies from 98se to 2k to xphome. Even had a Longhorn running for
awhile, it would NOT network but it ran okay.

Fun? LOL I'm tearing my hair out.  If pain and suffering is fun, then

yes,

networking is a blast, lol.

Let me know if these sites help:
http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/faq.htm

http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5E.asp

http://www.linksys.com/faqs/default.asp?fqid=20

Thanks for the help guys, but rather then fight with getting these machines
to communicate I think I'm just going to let them agree to disagree and
throw in the towel on networking them.  Maybe at some point in the future
when they decide they want to get along I'll take another shot at it, but
for now they can both continue to crunch WU's and hopefully further science.

Thanks again,

SC
