My grandchildren's two '98 machines used to connect through my 8.2 setup without problems (all is different now, both version and connection, but still OK). Our setup was as far as I can see just what magnet describes. Come back if you still have problems. It's certainly workable. I'm going to be away for a few days, but if the problem's still there I'll check it out next weekend. Anne
