Chip, I know you don't want to hear this, but this is a business expense
you should pay. Hire a local professional to get you set up with
SBServer and straighten out your network. It will cost less than the
time you are putting into trying to figure things out yourself and it
will work properly. Just removing one share isn't going to do it.
Remember, one computer can have more than one connection to the server.
I'm going to give you a link to an excellent small network
troubleshooter by MVP Hans-Georg Michna. You can run through it and see
where some of your problems lie. However, your setup is way to
complicated to solve by newsgroup postings and you are truly going to
be better off to have someone who knows what they are doing fix things.

Best of luck,
