[WriteLog] networking WriteLog 10.44

[W5AP]

Need help with networking writelog on 2 XP machines
The 2 machines are already networked and share files/internet fine using a phone line nic,
And I've followed the Writelog networking instructions to a T. The WriteLog example for XP Networking shows under computer/manage/system tools/ users   .... the users/guest doesn't exist on my XP Home manage window???
At one point, I had one machine connected to the other, but only one way. Then the next time I started up, I couldn' duplicate the effort. When I click "link" under WriteLog setup, it connects, then pops-up "not connected to ...." 
Any networking gurus that can offer suggestions.....Tnx
