Barb,

Much better.

Please try again. Type "ipconfig /all" NOT "ipconfig \all".

Is the router 192.168.1.254?

>From each computer:
1) Ping the other by name.
2) Ping the other by ip address.
3) Ping itself by name.
4) Ping itself by ip address.
5) Ping 127.0.0.1.
6) Ping 192.168.1.254 (router).
Report messages from each of 12 pings.

I'm not sure what this bridge is, nor why you would have had one created by the
wizard. I need to see the complete "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" output.

Cheers,
Chuck
