No matter what, I cannot get (multiple) XP to connect to HP.
XP sees HP, but cannot actually connect to it.
XP can see & can connect to all other machines; XP, Win7 Ult, (other) Win10 (Pro's as the case is).
HP can see & connect to all other machines including XP.
It is only HP, Win10 Home, where XP cannot connect to.
