i have a laptop using winxp professional, and it can connect to my computer just fine. when i go to connect using the 2k computer to the xp computer it says user restrictions. i can ping the computer from the 2k to the xp just fine, they both are on the same workgroup, and they both are logged in as administrator. any ideas?
