Hi Chuck - thanks for the continuing support.

I followed your instructions regarding the browstat but was not 100% clear
on whether the 2 computers are definitely using the same Master Browser so I
have copied you the browstat status from each computer as well I have copied
you the ipconfig from both computers.
