Hello Carey
Thanks. I have had a look already at that site.
problem is my Xp is in Portuguese and it becomes difficult to folllow your
instructions.
My guess now is that I should have changed the names of the computers before
trying a second setup.
And my doubt is whether changing the name in the Assistant is enough or if
you need to change the name in the system.
can you help?
Thanks
