Guys, Regarding the inability to get one computer to talk, I'm still confused. Each computer has a name (in my case number1 and number2) as identified in the Network ID tab. Also, each computer has a user logged on (in my case w2up-1 and w2up-2), which can be seen if you click Start, and just above the Shut Down cmd, is a Log Off user cmd. There is no prompt for a user id or password when each computer boots up.
Both computers share files back and forth with no problem. The IP address of each is assinged dynamically by a router. Several of you are telling me there is a name mismatch. Which one? Computer name or user name? Please explain the fix step by step. The one or two line replies with fixes, assuming I'm a network guru, haven't helped :.( Tnx again, Barry-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newtown, PA Frankford Radio Club
