On the 'select a transfer method' page of the FASTW, 'home or small office'
is not enabled. I need to use this to transfer my files. I have checked the
following:

Both machines are connected to a home network through a router and can "see"
each other.
File and print sharing is enabled on both machines.
The C:\ drive and the Documents and settings and all folders inside are
'shared' on the new machine.

What else should I check? It was enabled once, and I used it, but FASTW
errored out at some point. I've restarted the machines and tried starting
from scratch, but on all subsequent attempts, I can't select 'home or small
office'.

Please help! Many thanx!
