1. Make sure that the workgroup names are the same, including case. In other
words, "WORKGROUP" and "Workgroup" are perceived as different by some versions
of Windows, I forget which ones any more.

2. Make sure that file sharing is installed and enabled on your daughter's
computer.

3. Whichever folders you want to view must have sharing enabled with the
appropriate permissions (read, write, execute)... Ben Myers
