OK. Yes I have such a username. But I will check it again.
About NetBIOS over TCP\IP - yes I have it.
I have checked the settings over and over again, and if I'm not blind
they are nearly identical on both PC 1 and PC2 (computer name, ip
address etc differs of course).


I know what you mean about not being blind but sometimes you can look too
hard and still not see it :)

Another reason for the username I mentioned is that there are two sets of
permissions with sharing, actual sharing permissions and also the NTFS
permissions on the folders being shared. If Netbeui enables viewing though I
can't see folder permissions being the problem.

Have you tried going to network places from scratch, in other words from
"Entire Network" and all the way down? I am assuming that's what you are
doing but I've seen network places get confused also.

I did notice that you picked the IP address 1 for this machine. That's often
used by default for routers, I just wonder if that has anything to do with
anything? You can more easily view folder permissions (On the machine
sharing the folder) by opening a folder, tools>folder options>view and
uncheck simple file sharing. Other than that I think my brain has seized up,
will be back later... :)
