Rebooted everything, dropped the firewall, and still no date change when I tried from
astropc (Linux). See my comments above that you might have missed. I posted them very
early this morning. Particularly see the comment about w2k.
Concerning underscores, it still randomly decides to produce astro_pc in the
descriptive material when I use Network Places Near Me. Anyway, I shook it loose this
morning by rebooting astropc (Linux), rebooting XP (solarblast), logging in as
Administrator (as I usually do, and that didn't shake the astro_pc), relogging as
guest, then relogging as Administrator. That worked. Torture it. :-) For the record,
in the above, the acutal name of astropc is astropc2004, 11 chars. I abbreviated it
here, but maybe there's some funny character limitation going on.
I thought I would just try Network Places (Computers Near Me) right now. I got a
message saying that my Galaxy workgroup (for my local network) is not available, and
neither is the list of servers for the workgroup. I just did it again, and it's OK.
Both computers are listed. Maybe it had to do with turning the firewall on/off 30
minutes ago. It sure is tempermental. The two computers can ping each other without
difficulty.
