TO CHEER:
No, there's no Norton products installed. There is Sygate Personal
Firewall, but it's configured to accept a network neighborhood, plus
I've tried a bunch of times to View Workgroup Computers (from the
laptop) w/ the Sygate turned off; no joy.
TO CHUCK:
I got browstat running. Here's the readout frm the cmd: "browstat
status <workgroupname>":
Status for domain disgusted on transport
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{0F5B0BBB-99BB-4A1E-A25D-22718665A05C}
Browsing is NOT active on domain.
Master name cannot be determined from GetAdapterStatus.
(Does that help?)
Also, Chuck, I apologize for not noticing this before, but the
whole problem w/ not being able to View Workgroup Computers and the
application hang seems to be limited to just one of 2 laptops on
WLAN--a Dell Inspiron. (There's an Averatec which is sharing just
fine.) Also, I've tried 2 different pc cards on the dell; doesn't seem
to make any difference. And I've also uninstalled-&-reinstalled the
cd-based software that came w/ the cards. No joy.
(Does any of this help w/ diagnostics?)
Thanks much for your time [:-))
