For windows 2000 networking connections.

you must create the username you want to use on the 2000 Machines.

For Example, If your info on the laptop is

Username : Name
Password : password

You must create exactly the same user on the 2000 Machine.

We have many of these questions while trying to do file sharing from our server at LAN Events. But it's easily solved by creating a user.

If you need more help, post another message, and I will try and help..

As for Home edition, I really suggest you stick with the Pro, Home edition is very buggy for networking. But if you have Windows 2000 Pro, then all the better.
