Hi all,
I'm having a baffling problem, where my existing mapped drives work fine,
but I cannot see any of the other machines on the network, not even the one
on contains the mapped drive. I search for the computers from my network
places, it times out with a 'nor responding' error.

The network is setup for simple sharing and this machine was able to see the
other machines and shares. Is there any settings which would cause this ?

Thanks

Gerry Abbott
