You may have enabled personal firewall or use WinxXP firewall or have
multiple IP on the adaptor or access from different subnet in which the
broadcast address will be blocked and of course will show empty if the
simpleMonitor.

Cool. Thanks, Alex. I'll play around with it.

But I should add that I'm not sure this is it. A customer on his WinME
machine (hmmm.. I *think* it's WinME) can log directly into his
airBridge even on his public IP and I'm almost positive I set his
gateway to 192.168.10.10 ..like I do for everyone else's.

In fact, come to think of it, I was walking a customer through his
simpleMonitor configuration, and he saw our local library come up on his
Search screen. The libray was programmed by my installer (using XP on
his
laptop) and this customer has XP on his desktop. First thing I had him
do was change his NIC's IP to 192.168.10.101/255.255.0.0 (his radio is
192.168.5.25/255.255.0.0). He could see the Library's radio, but I could
not (using Win98 laptop and Win2K servers). I eventually went to the
Library and plugged in my laptop and changed IP address. I can see the
library just fine now.

I'm going to have to play with the XP vs Win98/2K thing and see what I
find. Unfortunately... I don't have a WinXP box anywhere.
:(   ..or should I say :)


One last thing... I don't know if this matters, but my Win2K servers
have multiple IPs: PublicIP, 192.168.0.132, 192.168.5.0, etc, etc. The
Win2K servers have no problem seeing any of the radios that I program
with my Win98 laptop. They're not so sucessful with seeing the radios
that my programmer sets up with his WinXP laptop. I keep thinking it's
some kind
of configuration error (gateway!!), so we'll see.   (although that
doesn't
explain why my customer could see the Library and I couldn't.)

My head hurts. Time to go home!

Thanks
