Thanks for the suggestions. I shut down all firewalls (windows, norton and
the one on my router), still no joy. I've checked the workgroup and that's OK
(I've changed it to a new name on all PC's just to be certain). The IP
address is assigned by the router and all begin 192.168.2.X so that seems OK.
>From articles in the knowledge database I've also checked the netbios and
TCP/IP settings, all seem to be what I should expect. I'm slightly concerned
I've messed around with this too much now, is there a way I can completely
reset everything to some kind of default settings and start over?
