Make sure you create a workgroup, not a homegroup; a homegroup can be used only on Windows 7 computers. The details of how to do this are a little to complex for a thorough reply here. But there are several good web sites with this information, and I recommend that you do a web search to find one. Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP
