Thank you Steve and Chuck,

I uninstalled my Norton and things started working better. Then I
reinstalled Norton and my network is still working pretty well. The only
problem I have now is that on XP pro machine I still "dosn't have access" to
view workgroup computers. Oh wait, I just tried again and I got in this time.
Hmmmmm, I wish I could understand this stuff better.......maybe with time.
Now I guess I should make sure that I dont have Norton set up too loose. I'll
read up on it and work backwards to make it as tight as possible w/o killing
my network.

Just for the fun of it here is the ipconfig log that chuck wanted to see. Do
you guys see anything that I should fix?
