SV: [WriteLog] Networking problem with writelog

[Jerry Pixton]

Olaf,

Don't know about Win XP Home edition, but I have at least one existence 
proof that Writelog works fine with Win XP Professional and Win 2000 
computers in a network. So if Win XP Home doesn't work, I would guess it is 
a problem with Win XP Home not with Writelog.
