By "helped somewhat" I mean that computer A can now see the shares etc. and
browse the network. Computer A cannot do this. Both machines are running xp
pro as previously stated (maybe missed). Both machines have identical user
accounts, case sensitive and all. I cannot get the contents of ipconfig /all
to output to a file. Is there a setting somewhere to not allow a logon from
the network etc? I'm really stumped on this.
