Glen,

You're running Teredo Tunneling, aka IPV6. Do you need access to IPV6
addresses?

Please start by un installing IPV6, aka Advanced Networking or Microsoft IPV6,
from the list of items under Local Area Connection Properties. You only need
the following items in the list:
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler (optional)
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

If you need IPV6, you can install it later. After you get file sharing working.

After un installing IPV6 (and rebooting), repeat diagnoses, and post with
updates.

Cheers,
Chuck
