Chuck,
thanks for the reply. I disabled my personal firewalls
after setting up my Netgear router/firewall so that's not
the issue. Simple File Sharing is enabled (and recall
that file sharing was working up to a week ago). As
such, I'm attaching the ipconfig info with the MAC
addresses truncated for security reasons:
