[WriteLog] Need Help with Networking "Lost connection to ..."

[Robert Chudek]

Mark,

When I tried to drive share some of my home computers I couldn't consistently "see" the other computer drives. I found this article and applied the "fix". This cured my problem. I don't know whether this will solve your issue at hand, but the article contains some good information about networking and security settings.

  I'm trying to link two computers in a network for 
  Sweepstakes, but they never seem to connect and I 
  get an error message "Lost connection to K6SU"

  Both computers are Windows XP with short, all 
  capital letter names (NN7SS and K6SU), same workgroup 
  and identical user accounts and passwords. File and 
  Printer sharing works as I can see, open and copy 
  files back and forth to the other computer's Writelog 
  folder. I opened the Windows Firewall to Writelog.

  But in Writelog, after I "Register to accept network 
  connections", when I try to "Link to Network" I get 
  about a 10 second delay and then a Writelog Networking 
  window that says "Lost connection to K6SU".

  I've searched the archives, and checked what 
  could find there, like "nbtstat -c" does show the other 
  computer.

  Help! Any ideas?
